well, it's what, somewhere around 15% more clock cycles, so you should see
about that much speed increase.  in all honesty though?  not a tremendous
amount, so not worth hurting yourself to try and get, but if you can get,
not a bad deal.

the SM81 with 2MB cache on the other hand, is a different story.  but then
those aren't useable in a sparc10 anyway. :)
