I have benched all the way up to 15Mhz, I have my zip running 99% stable 
at 15Mhz, the 1% of instability could be de to the hot weather we are 
having here in California (115 degrees yersterday and 110 today wew!!)
I will post the bench mars that I have but these were done a long time 
ago, about one year ago, I will do the bench once again tommorow and post 
those results. but in the mean time here they are. I used a pascal 
program but if anyone has anything better then pass it along to me and I 
will do the tests.  Ishift boot my GS with about 100+ icons and it takes 
about 3.5 - 4 secods  toshift boot. anyhow here they are :

===========



I will re-do the bench test and see what kind of results I get since 
these test results were under different modifications which can have a 
bearing on the tests and performance.
