I'd like to see the benchmarks and results you used. What benchmarks did you use? Also, please do not use pitiful benchmarks like dhrystones. Does anybody in the Amiga community have SPECmarks for them? I'd love to see what they are. I love the Amiga just as much as the next guy, but please do not post clearly false results. I will dig up some benchmark code from somewhere and run it on an 040 NeXT and then on a 50 MHz 030 Amiga and we'll see what we get.
