Ah, but does your 030 have a gfx card? It may simply be that
Basilisk seems faster because it has much faster gfx access.

Heck, WinUAE is about 10x slower (cpu wise) then my 040 amiga, but
scrolling a large 256 colour picture in multiview is much faster in
UAE? why? Because winuae has the PC's GFX card, while my A1200 is
stuck with AGA :)

Plus, don't forget how slow a 25 mhz 030 is :)

See ya :)
