I'm hoping perhaps someone can come up with a few ideas about a strange 
oddity that I've come across with a program of mine and AmigaOS2.0. 
I've written a program (and put it out generally) known as Amiga Intuition
Based Benchmarks (AIBB).  The program performs 6 benchmark tests (Writepixel,
Sieve, Savage, Sort, Matrix, and Dhrystone) with an Intuition front end
(click a test gadget and go).  The problem is this: Running the tests under
AmigaOS 1.3 is just fine...results come up generally as expected.  AmigaOS 2.0
is a completely different story.  The tests are running _slower_!  And not
just a bit slower, but a great deal so.  At first, I thought it was a strange
quirk with the A3000 doing this, but 'tis not the case.  The same thing shows
up on an A2000 with an A2620 card running a current 2.01.  What I want to know
is why????  Something is quite odd here, to be sure.  The tests are nothing
special, and I see no reason why 2.0 should be causing such strange results.
Anyone have a simple 'well, this is what's up...' answer?
