In every case, the facts -- speed is NOT 100Mhz like Lim claimed.

More importantly, you admit that the above CPU performance are only
the measure of the emulated processors speed.  Running real software
will not degrade processor performance on a real GS, but running real
software like Diversi-Tune on Bernie requires real PowerPC CPU time
that means a slowdown in realized speed from the user's point of view...

I say again, on a G3 running REAL GS software like Diversi-Tune,
you are going to get more like 15Mhz-20Mhz GS equivalent speed.
