Considering dhrystones, 040@25 Mhz is about 4 times faster than 030@50Mhz.

In real usage condition, 040 is far better.

PS: tested with Blizzard 1230-IV, Apollo 630, MTEC 1230, Apollo 1240 and Blizzard 040PPC.

When i replaced for the first time my Blizzard 1230-IV@50Mhz for an Apollo 1240@28Mhz, it was more than a major boost.
040 is clearly faster than 030 for me. 030 is no good enough for a RTG system, 040 is nice.

Well redwarffer, accelerator board are expensive on amiga.
Are you looking to expand an A1200? Blizzard 1230 should be the easiest and cheapest to find.
