I'll try to make this short...
 
You're right in stating that esoteric benchmarks between computers running
different OSs isn't that good.  Different compilers, etc.  Application feel is
one where you can compare, and an A3000-25 deffinately "feels" faster at
handling things.  
 
Yes the nonstandard and out of date A/UX works with the ][fx's DMA, such as
this combination is.  And if DMA slows down a non-preemptive multitasking
system, who cares?  I've always had pre-emptive multitasking, so this
shortcoming of the current and future MacOS means little to me.
