Perhaps someone who has one of these CMI speed-up boards would like
to run the standard set of benchmarks (dhrystones, whetstones,
khornerstones, flyntstones :-) on an accelerated and a stock Amiga
and post the results -- especially results that depend on the
optional 68881.

Also, some tests with real programs, such as time to load/scroll in
WordPerfect, recalc a Maxiplan sheet, or perform a complex fill with
DeluxePaint would be appreciated too.
