	To add a comment or two:

	NetBSD is being actively ported to new handheld and embedded
	platforms with less memory and sometimes less CPU than
	mac68k boxes, so in performance terms the mac68k port is
	still very relevant.

	1.5 did lose significant performance compared to 1.4, but
	IIRC Allan fixed the biggest mac68k specific issue (SCSI),
	plus since 1.5 new kernel options have been added to allow
	reduction of kernel size, a tech-perform list has been
	setup, and more people are looking at performance issues.
