More than zero, which is all it takes ot make Alan's statement untrue.

The A4000T/060 was very expensive, but many people have 060 based
machines now.

If you're going to make a comparison of how fast something is, and it
is very fast, it makes sense to compare it against the fastest
available. Had Bill compared it against a bog standard A1200, you would
have been saying that was no good and he should have compared it against
an 060.
The point is that this emulation is faster than any Amiga made, fitted
with any accelerator made.
I'm surprised that Amithlon generated so little discussion here, and now
that people are talking about it, it's only to pick holes in the words
used to announce it.
Are you really more interested in Bill McEwen's choice of words than any
product covered in the announcements?
Cheers
