These tests were done using a program called PiPrimes. There are 68k and PPC versions, and were used for the emulation and native tests respectively. Also Speed doubler 8.0.2 was used to show it's encahned emulation. Shorter times are better.
*Fractorial is n!. What this means is you have n x (n-1) x (n-2) x ... x 1=numbe
example: if n=5 then n!=5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1=120
While this may seem obvious, it's nice to see how much of a speed improvement native has over emulation. Even with Speed Doublers advanced emulation, it's not even close to native.
