Could anyone suggest some things to tune to increase the performance under
NetBSD 1.1 ?   I'm running on a  25MHz A3000/040 but compared to a FreeBSD 
machine on a 25MHz 486 at work, my system seems much more sluggish.  If 
anything, I would expect it to be a bit faster than the Intel box,  however
it just isn't so.  My hardware is: A3640, GVP Spectrum, 12 MB FAST RAM,
Quantum Fireball 1080S (the rotational delay is already at 0).

I also tried recompiling the kernel with -m68040 flag instead of -m68020
but it was acting kind of flakey,  I even had some SCSI lockups so I went
back to '020 code which is noticably slower on some other things I compiled.
(like xlander, which runs significantly faster, when compiled for '040)
