A good text editor (personal preference applies to this one) :-)

Oxypatcher is not a program to make your CPU go _faster_.
It's a program that handles some of the shortcomings of nonexistant 68060 support in AmigaOS.

Most Amiga software wasn't written with the 060 in mind, so it uses instructions not available in the 060 (the instruction set in the 060 was reduced, it's sort of semi-RISC).
These instructions needs to be emulated and oxypatcher handles this. Software for this is of course included when you buy an 060 card but Oxypatcher is said to be more efficient.

There's no software that makes your CPU go faster :-)
