     You could try SpeedGS. It's a BASIC Startup program launcher which uses
a timed machine code loop to give a speed readout in terms of a multiplier X
"Normal" (i.e. "1X" is very close to 1MHz).

     To get a better idea of small changes in speed, you can remove "INT" in
front of the parenthesis in, I think, Line 5. (The actual speed value may be
off a bit; but, you will gain an extra significant digit for making
comparisons.)

     You can find SpeedGS.shk on a number of archives-- for example at ...
