You are mistaken, the fastest commercially available SPARC system is
faster than the fastest commercially available 68040 system ('cuz there
ain't one). I see no reason why this wouldn't continue to be the case
even when there was a commercially available '040 system. (Talk to your
SPARC vendor for details...)
