I have just completed an additional test for DHRYSTONE 1.1 for ProDOS 8 
written in Aztec C65 3.2b with my real Apple //e with an 8 MHZ Zip Chip 
Accelerator:

206 DHRYSTONES/second.

- By comparison to DHRY of  197 for 8086-8Mhz RMX86 V6 Intel C-86 V2.0.
- By comparison to DHRY of 259 for IBM PC/XT 8088-4.77Mhz COHERENT 2.3.43 
Mark Williams.

While a Macintosh512 68000-7.7Mhz Mac ROM O/S DeSmet(C ware) has a DHRY of 
625 (about triple the speed), Aztec C65's performance on my Apple //e still 
doesn't seem too shabby for my little old 8 bit machine.

But thinking that hardware optimization may still be a little too slow for 
some tasks, and virtual optimization might then be in order, I also tested 
under AppleWin using the fastest custom speed settings on my  2.6 GHZ Intel 
G620 and the DHRY is 4166 (which is probably fast enough for anything that 
might need doing with this old compiler).

Regards,

Bill

PS - Sorry if all of this this stretches credibility, but I couldn't resist 
doing these last tests just for fun. And for the record, I never did own an 
Apple //e without an acceleretor.
