New benchmarks show an impressive speedup!
http://amigos.amiga.hu/rachy/petunia.html Also Ben Hermans commented this on ANN:
"
On a 600 Mhz G3 with on-die L2 cache and a 133 FSB, you can expect much more than a 150-200 Mhz 060. I would consider a 300 Mhz 060 to be the absolute minimum."
The current benchmarks of Petunia are being held back by several factors even on the current PPC cards:
1. The 68K is still stealing cycles from the PPC just by being "awake". If you put it to sleep completely, this results in substantial performance gains.
2. Dual CPU architecture with context-switches and cache-flushes.
3. WarpOS not Exec SG is used.
All in all I expect the emulator to reach at least 060/50 performance even on the lowest (160 MHz) BlizzardPPC
