Are the programs running slower, or you just curious about the measurement?
The 68040 appears substantially faster than the 68020 in our systems. I
wonder what measurements you are actually making.
There are some design considerations with regards the cache that
theoretically affect any 68000 CPU, but only become obvious with the '040.
