i hope you're right, don. i think the most benefit folks will see is in the performance of programs written in C, etc. Given recent experience reading the assembler output from Amiga C compilers i've concluded that ANYTHING would speed those programs up. The C compiler output I've seen is positively scuz-bucket quality assembler, in some cases lacking even the most rudimentary speed considerations. The best speedup tool for the Amiga is to avoid C or other high level languages for any part of a program which is speed sensitive and do it in assembler with regard for some of the well-known speed tricks (add.l d0,d0 instead of lsl.l #1,d0; moveq #0,d0 instead of move.l #0,d0, etc.). I am eagerly looking forward to putting an 040 into one of my Amigas as soon as practical.
