Oh, please, if you don't have REAL data don't pretend as if you do.
A 486DX25 runs at more than 50% the speed of a 486DX50 in identical
systems.  Where did you get the idea that a DX2-50 can ever drop
to 40% the performance of a DX50 --- less than its single-clocked
nephew?

I don't have exact data on hand, but it's more like 65-90% of a DX50.
