Is this using WinUAE? Bernie Mayer has written a JIT system for the Unix
version of UAE, which means emulation is *significantly* faster.

In any case, PC software that /only/ emulates the 68000 can easily achieve
68060 speeds on fast machines. UAE is slowed down by chipset emulation,
not CPU emulation.
