Preliminary benchmarks:

68060 / 50 MHz / disabled FPU:

whetstone 10:

Loops: 10, Iterations: 1, Duration: 7.360000 sec.
C Converted Double Precision Whetstones: 135.9 KIPS

FPE traps executed during this time:

5330161-5117052
213109
=2E/7.36
28955 instructions/second.

Compare to:

68060 / 50 MHz / enabled FPU:

whetstone 500:

Loops: 500, Iterations: 1, Duration: 5.360000 sec.
C Converted Double Precision Whetstones: 9.3 MIPS

scaling this with the above result gives me roughly 2 million FPU
instructions corresponding to that "9 MIPS" result. Hm. looks like
the compiler is optimizing more than the whetstone author allowed.

Results on 68030/25 tomorrow or after the weekend.
