( altough I never completed an SSL connection / download, because of the decryption takes so long with my falcon, I will put an FPU into my falcontoday, maybe that speed's things up...(?) )
Things must be clear: Currently there is no way to build binaries that will detect the FPU and use it if present.
If you compile a program with the default options (-m68000 implied), it will totally ignore the FPU.
If you compile a program with -m68020-60, it will use the FPU in any case. The program will fail and display an explicit error message if someone tries to run it on a system without an FPU.
So if you add a 68881/68882 to your Falcon, there will be no speedup for your current programs. But you will be able to run new software requiring an FPU.
About SSL, I don't know if the FPU could speed up things. -- Vincent Rivière
