dry2reg before Daystar 50MHz 030 upgrade: approximately 7300 d/sec

First try with Daystar, wouldn't boot (hung up after it determined the
root file system). Turned off cache in the control panel, got a login
on the next reboot.

dry2reg after Daystar 50MHz 030 upgrade: approximately 6200 d/sec

The Daystar card does have an FPU. I tested this twice just to make sure.
What gives? The DayStar control panel sees the card fine, so it's working,
and a CPU test in MacOS comes up with 50MHz '030. So what happened?

1.4.2, IIci, 32MB RAM, Quantum Fireball 2.0GB running generic-ncrscsi kernel,
internal video, Farallon EtherWave NuBus.
