|Ahem. 68020 * 4 is an "incremental" speed change? The 68030 at 30 Mhz

^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^
My figures are:
68020 @ 25MHz = 4 MIPS (Sun 3/200)
SPARC = 10 MIPS (Sun 4)
I believe you are saying:
68030 @ 30MHz = 16 MIPS ???
I can only assume you literally have a 68031 chip NOW!?
No fair jumping generations in a comparison.
Otherwise I would like you to show documentation that the 68030 is a
16 MIP CPU.
