We have been using EROFF for a while now and are very satisfied with it.
We would like to get our output faster though!

I an wondering if the installation of a maths coprocessor would significantly
speed up EROFF? Were use tbl and eqn frequently.

I know that on bench marks (SAVAGE) the maths chip runs over 8 times faster.
