Why do people go on about the benefits of Oxypatcher? The number of '
060
instructions in programs that need to be emulated is tiny. Oxypatcher
probably speeds up < 1% of Amiga apps.
It's only really of use when you've got a specific app that's
mathmatically
intensive and happens to use the missing '060 instructions. e.g. An
old
version of Imagine.
