I recently downloaded a program called MacSpeed from *.binaries  It is a
neat tool to get an arbitrary idea of where your macintosh lies in the realm of
performance, and I do not know exactly what parameters it uses.  However, to
answer lots of questions about the 030 and its speed, I have a 20MHZ Dove
acclerator for my MacII.  It has a hardware specific cdev that controls the
caches of the 030.  I think the following will tell all:

                     CPU     Disk     Math     Overall(times over an SE-20)

Stock MacII:         3.18    1.46      6.60     2.70
Souped up*:          4.34    8.69     31.65     6.63
*, no data cache:    3.70    7.42     28.55     5.66
*With both 030-20MHz caches, ramdisk(100ns ram), Radius Init (sane changed)

I only turned the data cache off on the third run.  Obvioulsy,it affects disk IO
somehow.  I got the stock numbers from the application, as it prints them as a
default when you start the test.  A ramdisk really soups up the overall side,
and the math helps, but not nearly in a linear fashion.  I welcome any data on
other macs, the Levco board, the IIx and SE-030 would be interesting to see.
Scott Berfield wrote the application. The instruction cache was always "on.

Any opinions above are just my own, and all standard disclaimers apply.
