Cosmic!  I had wondered whether reports that the 68040 would
beat out many SPARC chips was just overzealous Amiga crowing.
To hear it confirmed via another  (though perhaps equivalent)
source cheers me.  There's future in CISC after all  (especially
if we get some parallel-capable platforms built).
So the 68040 Amiga 3x00UX series will be SPARC peers, not little
brothers...  ditto NeXT.
