I have yet to see any new 68k emulator for MorphOS in action (there was
talk about JIT etc going into it) but what I can say is that even with a
240MHz PPC I get no where NEAR 060 speeds with MorphOS when its doing 060
emulation. the benchmark of lame.060 in last months AA is pretty close to
the mark. the 060 has a VERY powerful FPU (compared to the 040 its over
15x better).

I also believe the Mac people when they say you need a G3-450 to get 060
speeds in emulation
