OK, you have dhrystone. That's what it is for.

Did you compare *only* the dhrystone results? If you had, you would
probably have found the 68040 was significantly faster than the 386
running at the same clock freq.
IIRC, Hauke's 68040 at 33MHz marked 14,000-15,000 dhrystone, whereas a
386DX at 33MHz should be somewhere around 8,000 (could be a little
better but not more than 10,000, I think). SX should be even worse.
