DSPMIPS.TOS
-----------

This small program simply tells you the MIPS rating (Millions of
Instructions Per Second) of your Falcon's DSP. Anyone with an
accelerated DSP might want to use this to indicate what kind of
improvements have actually been made.

In other words if you get 150%, then it's likely that your DSP
is operating at 48Mhz. If you get 100%, then it is running at
the standard 32Mhz and isn't accelerated. If you get less than
about 98%, then you should perhaps start to be concerned. This
should most certainly not happen unless something has mucked up
the machines innards & either upset the DSP or possibly the MFP.

A healthy DSP should indicate 16 MIPS (100%) or more for the
first figure in the test...

Three tests are performed:

a) Truly parallel instruction / data fetching (0 waitstates).
b) Partially parallel instruction / data fetching (1 waitstate).
c) Non-parallel instruction / data fetching (2 waitstates).

The reason for presenting such detail is to help indicate any
problems which might be leading to extra waitstates inside the
DSP - all three % values should be the same for a correctly
working DSP. The MIPS ratings will always vary.
