> [how the '040 NeXTs are stupendously faster than an A3000]

Please note that the A3000 uses a 68030 chip, while the NeXT uses the
(still-in-debugging-phase) 68040 chip; therefore by definition the
NeXT is faster. It's like comparing a 68020-equipped Amiga to one
with a stock 68000. If you were to drop the 68040 into an Amiga
it would very likely leave the new NeXT in the dust.

Commodore might know how such an experiment would turn out,
but they're not telling... Personally, I wouldn't be surprised
to see an A3000/40 debut in the next few months.
