- If you write optimised 68040 code (floating point, caches and using one
- or two new commands) it will definetely not run on a 68030. And 68040
- optimised packages for ultimate performance are already coming righ now.
- There is a 68040 optimised version of Lightwave which is more than 10 times
- faster running on 28MHz 68040 card than on a Amiga 3000 (68030 25MHz).
- Also REAL3D is coming in 68040 optimised version being currently 8 times
- quicker than an Amiga 3000 running it on a 28MHz Fusion-Forty 68040 board.
