Not really a fair test. Theoretically a 33MHz ARM3 can do 33MIPS, so long 
as there is no bus contention, yes? The speed of the '040 depends on what
the '040 is plugged into. Anyone know the average speed of a 'stand alone'
'040? 

Please, please, someone tell me what package the A5000 ARM3 is in!?! 
w.r.t. plugging in a 35MHz ARM3 instead (anyone done this?).
