thats not a bad result.... the RC5 core, of course, fits inside PPC cache,
so that would help it more than general 0x0 operations...but still, a 240MHz
603e getting almost 25/040 performance isnt too bad.
once again though, I'd rather keep running both of my CPUs...even with the
'context switch' problems....as I get almost full PPC performance AND the
060 works at its speed....which is hell-of-a-lot more than 25/040 ;-)

luckily I have a 'spare' 3Gb disk for these sort of things... I'm actually
looking at seeing if 'Plan 9 OS' can run on my Amiga ;-)
