[comp.sys.amiga] Whining about TurboSilver speed

PMXSG0%POPV03@dupont.com (08/21/90)

Standard disclaimer "This has probably been discussed before"...
I have had my GVP3001 for about 2 months, it makes my Amy a real joy
to use.  I was wondering if I am getting all the speed out of it that
is expected in Turbo Silver.  I benchmarked it against the 68000 and found 
it to be 10-11 times faster.  I expected faster rendering speeds with the 
882 FPU that I also have installed.  Is something wrong?  Is this needless 
whining?

Are you running the FP version of Turbo Silver? I'm also a Turbo
Silver user. Is the difference between the 68030 and 68000 worth
the price?
