I think we all would be glad to hear where you can actually get a 100 MHz
68k? Even then, it couldn't possibly outperform even the cheapest Intel or
AMD boxes...

Use a m68k clocked at 100 MHz or above and you'll get that.

Honestly, comparing our 8 to 32 MHz machines with others running
4 times faster is pointless.  Comparing them to a 25 MHz 486 or
Pentium would give you a more accurate picture, but then again,
real life performances depend mostly on how fast the OS is.
