I used to have an 25MHz A3000 running NetBSD, 12mb RAM. It wasn't _too_
pokey. I don't have the Amiga anymore, but I do have an MVME-147, which
is basically that A3000 on a board without all the graphics hardware. In
terms of running programs, and considering that my 4/260 doesn't
understand DMA and the MVME-147 is diskless, programs seems to run at
about the same speed. Maybe when I have time, I'll run a couple of
benchmarks (like dhry and contex or something...)
