Arigatou(thank you very much). I'm glad to know you saw those pages.

I'm sure you'll find how wonderful your DiiMO is !
If you have pkgsrc, you find "bytebench" and "dhrystone" in pkgsrc/benchmarks.

For quick installation on 1.6.1;
pkg_add ftp://ftp.netbsd.org (or
mirror)/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.6.1/mac68k/benchmarks/<package>

bytebench-4.1.0.tgz
dhrystone-2.1.tgz

I follow the steps in:

I'm an overclocking junkie, but I don't think overclocking is a good idea for
your DiiMO, because it is very fast already, maybe the fastest '030.
Yes, overclocking makes heat problem, so it requires CPU cooling. Cooling
fan is noisy.

For making faster SE/30, using high-speed HDD such as 7,200rpm or more
is a good idea. As you know it makes nice performance.
And also, configuring proper "system" -- for example, partitioning,
mounting options (including mfs) and machine specific kernel -- is good
idea. I don't know many about those, I guess, it might be very interesting.

I've not installed X on that SE/40. Windowmaker is my favorite,

me too :)
