[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] A500 Accelerators

I would like to know a little about the affect of accelerators on the A500.
I'm looking at getting a 14mhz 68000, in particular I'm interested in the
AdSpeed from ICD. I wan't to know just how much an effect they have on the
speed of the machine. Do things like LHArc/LZ, PKAZip, DMS run faster? How
much, is it 1.5x 2x or same old speed. And what about games? Will flight sims
update the screen faster? Is ray tracing faster?

If you would like to share any knowledge with me I can be reached by email at:
algoa@eecs.cs.pdx.edu
or you might just like to post a followup, since I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I'm interested in comments on any speedup board though, I am most interested
the AdSpeed (the distributors should have 'em in now).
