This value shows that the Lattice V3.03 isn't a speed demon! (Get to work on
that optimizer!) As a comparison,
the results on a CT MightyFrame (68020 @ 12 MHz) are about 2200 to 2500 (don't
have the exact number in front of me) I do think the CT though has fast
memory/data paths and such. Also, I ran the benchmark without 68881.

Still, those results make it tempting to get a Turbo Amiga!
Considering that a Mighty Frame costs about 10 times as much as a regular Amiga
or 5 times as much with Turbo Amiga. ( I can't say exactly - considering
configurables). Or a Sun! And it runs Unix SVR2 really well, and SVR3 soon.
Although it does come with hard disk and cartridge tape drive, etc. But no
graphics built in.
