I don't know whether I want it that much.  I was stuffing around with
the developer version (I love productivity!), and thought it seemed 
rather slow.  So I multitasked with the game I am writing with nothing
else running, and compiled a 100k+ file of C code.  Results....
1.3 is 14% faster than 2.0.  And there were NO other tasks running and
I wasn't even touching the keyboard/mouse.  2.0 is noticibly slower.
The Amiga is moving out of the 7Mhz 68000 zone.....  

BTW, the 2.0 is THAT good that the lower speed is worth it.
