Pointless unless you know of a program that executes instruction that solely affect the CPU and as in the example above do nothing but floating number calculations.

Now we're at 3000x and counting. I'm not even getting baited into further discussions along these lines.

What's it do for the average Amiga software package?


Well Vista Pro and Lightwave sure as hell run better than the rubbish 030 of any speed description. The 030 is a terrible CPU, not worth the extra expense over an 020. Simple as that.

Games rarely improve (which is why PC won and Amiga lost in the days of AGA) and without a Bvision card on an accelerator like the PPC A1200 ones don't expect Workbench based stuff to go faster :)
