Marathon 030 Upgrade......

I had a Marthon 030 Upgrade for the MacII evaluation unit
sent to me from Dove Corporation. I have the part for 30
days in which I am to evaluate the product. At the
end of the period I can either purchase or return the
product. I have had the chip in my machine(MacII 40/4)
for about a week now. The board runs at 33Mhz and has the
030 chip in it.
What I would like to know is, are there any specific tests
which I might run that will give me some sort of bench marks
for the chip. The work that I do, and most others where I work
do is network intensive. I do development work which requires
a lot of network time. I have not really noticed other than
local operation (ie. in the Finder) any real increase in
performance. I realize that all network events are still
limited by AppleTalk as far as speed goes. But is there
any way I can show myself the true speed of this chip?
I have to compose a report for Dove and want to have
something concrete to show them.

Is it possible that I might not notice a jump from 16 to
33 Mhz?

Any test or trials that you think I might run would be greatly
appreciated. I will post the results of my Evaluation of the
Marathon 030 on the BBoards.

Thanx for the help.
