When I run it on my Quadra 700 (25 mHz '040) I can get around 1.7 mHz. I saw
it run on a friend's PM 7100/66 and it ran around .7 mHz. You gotta remember 
that the processor is running a 68000 emulator, which is in turn running the
][+ emulator. It's not gonna be as fast as real live hardware in that
situation. I think a native emulator would really smoke, and be at least as
fast as the standard IIgs hardware.
So what haapened to Quality's pledge to check into the feasibility of a IIgs
emulator?
