Considering the lead time until publication, and the only recent availability
of '020' compilers, I am pretty sure that no new 020 instructions were used.

BTW: I did _not_ mean to start a benchmark war (or pc vs mac war).  I am 
hoping that [a] these compilers (MPW, LSC, ...) will feel some pressure
to improve [b] to save some people some money (Gnu is good) and [c] that
the disassembly listing will give people an idea of how their programs
are translated
