UAE would probably be faster on PPCLinux.

The best way to benchmark UAE would be to use Syspeed under UAE... I've
done the tests on an iBook with G3 366 (3.52mips, fastish 020 speed), PIII
667 (about 7.9 mips, almost 030@50), K6 2 500 (6.9 mips or so, about
030@40). Not as quick at Amiga stuff as my A4k 060/ppc and A1200/060, but
quite usable and fun to use (gotta love playing those old classic Amiga
games). Why not try setting up AIAB (Amiga in A Box). Pretty nifty for UAE
if you don't already have it ;)

I have uploaded a copy of AIAB Release 8 with all the MacUAE files
needed.  Just add your 3.1 ROM.kick file and WB3.1 ADF disk file.

Please forgive the old r7a version AIAB info files - it really is R8
including the Scalos workbench replacement.

Your benchmarks make me weep - my PowerMac 7600/200 is barely faster
than an old A2000 !

Cheers

Before you buy.

Unfortunately, I will probably delete UAE as I will spend most of my time
learning to use Macintosh graphics software.
But I still have my A1200 040 lying around...
