Also, some 68k binarys perform better than the 68040 ones.
fVDI for example, the 68k one gives a score (Kronos, VDI test) of 155% 
on my system, and if i use the fvdi_040.prg instead, score goes down to 
122% (Reference system: Powermac 8600 ).

I run fVDI with radeon.sys and a Radeon 9200 in the CTPCI.

So, for some binarys, i like to try the 68k builds.
