Mostly benchmarks and things like mandelbrot generators. It looked very nice to me, although I forgot to ask if there was any way to disable the hardware compression for filesystem data. (I'm not real sure that the extra storage is worth the possiblity of finding 'incompatibilities' with existing file systems.) The benchmarks I saw run tended to show about twice the speed of a 25MHz 68030 design, with promises of much faster times when a real, production 68040 is used. :-- :J.
