Hi Dave, this problem also manifests itself with the progressive 040 boards. The problem is not that he has an EC040 but rather that the floating point version of lightwave was compiled with 882/881 fpu chips in mind. The 040 chip has many of the math instructions of the 882 on the chip but those that are not are emulated in software and thus will runn slower than a true 882 chip. The non fpu version of lightwave will run faster since it is optimized for an amiga without the fpu thus the 040 does not have to emulate anything. I think I explained that right…
