#Slow Amigas
We just got a new shipment of Amigas into our shop, and while setting up and
testing them we noticed something very peculiar. As part of the test
procedure, we ran Jez San's "Speed" program, a basic benchmark program. When we
ran it on the new machines, we got this result:
SPEED 2.00 – Amiga Performance Analyser by Jez San (c)1989 Argonaut Software.
The Amiga EXEC reckons that a 68000 processor is installed in this system.
Analysing clockspeed… Took 483 ticks, which is 3.58 Mhz +-2% (fig A)
Computing 10,000 SlightlyMoistSmallRocks in… 1391 ticks.
0.50 times (fig B) the speed of a normal Amiga at 7.159 Mhz +-2%. 0.16 times
the speed of an A2620 at 14.318 Mhz +-2%.
