The gimix 030 runs 6000-6125 drystone/second. It is quite fast. As a side note
I have a 68030 controller that runs 7500 drystons/sec at 20 mhz with 2 cycle
memory. The fastest number that I have seen on a 20 mhz 030 and OS9. also I f
someone mentions that there 030 has no wait states ask how many cycles the
memory access uses as if it is 3 then there is actually 1 wait state. The Gimix
030 actually runs 2 wait states as it has 4 cycle access. If your Kbus machine
also runs 4 cycle access which it should to support the 68k bus then it is also
2 waitstate. also the benchmarks were run with the cache enabled in all cases
on the 030.
