[comp.sys.amiga] A-Max and Proc. Accel.

Here's a challenge for all of you:


After some testing, I find that
    - If I set my CMI Processor Accelerator to 14 MHz mode before
      invoking A-Max, Mac mode does in fact run faster.   A-Max does
      not disable the software switch as I had previously thought.

    - HOWEVER (and this is the reason I erroneously thought that it
      did disable the software switch), in 14 MHz mode, A-Max only
      runs 14 percent faster!

Could someone explain why I am only getting a 14 percent speed
increase?  My Mac utilities also tell me the Math co-processor is
not installed.  (Yes, I have FPUInstall in my C directory and I
even tried executing it before running A-Max.)  In short, Helllllp!!

                            (Please e-mail.  Lately I haven't
                             been able to read this group often
                             enough to avoid missing replies.  :-(
