   mercutio: 68k is really too slow for current os's.
   RandalSchwartz: since we can emulate a 68k in real time with javascript, exactly. :)
   mercutio: i have 68030@50mhz with mmu, it's surprisingly slow at some things.
   <br> basically repetitive instruction speed has gone up heaps since then, but table based lookups etc were more efficient in comparison back then.
   <br> i think there was 256 byte instruction, 256 byte data cache back then, and it's way bigger now
   <br> heh 18 mips vs 127,273 mips.
   RandalSchwartz: I still cringe when I hear of people talk of the 6800 as "1 mip"
   <br> Millions of Instructions Per (what?)
   <br> lukcily, we rarely have 1 mips for anything now. :)
   mercutio: well yeah mips doesn't mean much other than how quickly you can run null loops
   <br> which has risen more than other things.
   RandalSchwartz: back in the day, it was related to typical instruction time though
   <br> before we had risc and pipelining
   mercutio: 68040 is way quicker than 68030 at simple things.
   <br> 68040 is clocked doubled iirc too just not advertising the fact like dx2 was.
   <br> so 68040@25 mhz is like 486dx2-50
   <br> mhz wise... performance wise i think they're in the same generation at least.
   <br> i remember when 486dx4/100 was like the fastest computer ever, and the newer pentiums were acutally slower.
