Interesting results indeed.

I need to build up another rev5 sometime soon when time allows.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

It tallies with my experience with the TF536. Running code in ST-RAM gave almost not speed-up at all relative to the stock 68000.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.
