Hi Joshua,

Thanks a lot for the historical background.

So from what you've written, it sounds like MIPS is actually not a problem here.

So the only systems we're actually talking about without a good cycle
counter are non-Amiga m68k? If so, that'd be a pretty terrific
finding. It'd mean that this idea can move forward, and we only need
to worry about some m68k museum pieces with misconfigured
userspaces...
