ACK! That is awful. You can get that kind of performance from a vanilla 386 clone. For comparison sake (no flames please) people on comp.sys.amiga have stated that they have gotten double this figure on the 25mhz A3000. I'm not sure how much of this difference is because of the faster clock or from the 68882 in the A3000. I wonder what kind of Dhrystone figure a Mac IIcx would produce?
