Ok, so let's see. This search results in 178 packages of a total 81912 packages, which are about 0.2%. Ok, that's probably not accurate, let's even make this 1%. It's still a minority that really requires it. Having a FPU is probably nice, but not really required.

For development, a MMU is considerably more useful, but again, if you just look at the statistics, it's hard to guess how many developers are really left that would profit.

Shows up, and doesnt require FPU. I realise you said "benefit", but that was just a instant pick since I got that player on my Amigas.

That said, intresting commentaries from Thomas Richter.
