Is it really faster than the 68030?  The vague numbers I have seen seem to
indicate otherwise, and the 68030 seems to be somewhat closer to sampling.

Serious question:  What advantages does the 32532 have when compared to the
68030, 80386, and MIPS R2000?  (I left out the Sun/Fujitsu SPARC since it
doesn't have an on-chip MMU.)
