Speaking just for myself, If I had the choice of crunching the data I have now at speed x versus speed y*x where y>1, I will choose y*x. I can't wait for NeXT to produce their 68040 upgrade so that I can start processing at y*x. I hate having to calculate how many days it will take to finish filtering and averaging my data. I never knew how slow a 25 MHz 68030 could be. 8-) So, if C= comes out with a 68040 Amiga before I scrounge the $$$$ to purchase an A3000, I will buy that instead.
