A 50Mhz '060 ought to be about 4x a 25Mhz '040 in a very good
case. 3-4x sounds good.
I don't think there are any '040 Macs shipped higher than 33Mhz.

The prices are still a bit high, but it is a good chip. I just don't think
there is a long term future in it.
But it is a godsend to the Amiga world because it can double the speed
of peoples machines at a decent price.
