100x is probably debatable.
I do own a copy and on my 1.7GHz P4 machine it averages the
equivalent of a 650MHz 68040 chip.
Which would probably be around 15x 40MHz 68040 or somewhere
around 8x a 68060 75MHz which is the highest spec 68k based
amiga system.
Still, it's very good and reasonably compatible.
