Have you seen this?

"Loops run from 23% to 80% faster once the
microcode sets up the automatic "loop mode". Such loops benefit particular
functions such as block moves, character matching and general string
manipulation operations, and multiple-precision binary and packed BCD
arithmetic. The new MC68010 multiply is 14 clocks faster, and the divide
is 32 clocks faster than the MC68000. Programs utilizing (or with the
potential of utilizing) such operations can obtain an increase in perfor-
mance easily exceeding 10%."

"Since the MC68010 is pin-for-pin compatible with the MC68000, *NO* hardware
redesign is necessary. Only very minor software changes may have to be
made depending on operating system conventions. The MC68010 differs from
the MC68000 in that: 1) a generic "vector word" has been added to the
MC68010 stack frame; and 2) the MC68000's "MOVE SR,ea" has been made a
privileged operation."

Thanks for the rep my friend. I'm glad someone else besides me feels this way. Have a great one!
