A friend of mine recently was bragging that an A3000/25/50 running the
AMAX-II mac plus emulator was leaving various Mac II's in the dust.
They were running Speedometer 2.5 and came up with following results:

KWhets/sec: 882.4 (using FPU) 39.4 (not using FPU)
Dhrys/sec:  2871 FPU, 2717 not
Sieve:      3.70 sec FPU, 3.83 sec    
Savage err:  7.988e-10, 2.297e-11
Savage time: 8.52 sec FPU, 71.43 sec
Savage iterations: 25000 FPU, 5000

CPU test: 6.40 (no FPU)
Math:     95.27 FPU, 5.24
Performance:  5.42 (no FPU)

Of course he was comparing it to relatively slow Mac II's like the cx.
Would someone with a IIFX screamer post some results so I can show my
haughty amiga friend up?  If someone has a souped up mac that would be
faster than an fx,  post 'em.  Hmm, why not make this the world's
fastest 680x0 machine contest?
