FPU performance boost
Hi there.
I have a question in regard to the boost an fpu might give to a program.
The main reason I am asking is because I use Ibrowse and see that it supports one. I am considering to upgrade my 020/40mhz, but want to know weither I should consider the fpu a must.
So in real life performance, does anyone have any idea in what order of boost I should think.
Will it really unload the CPU and make it all much faster, or is it more of a slight performance boost on specific tasks.
In other words, will the non fpu and fpu version really feel completely different, or is it more a slight edge the fpu might give over no fpu.
I understand these type of questions are tough to answer, there are many factors, but I'm hoping for some real life experience maybe so I can decide weither it's a must have or just a nice lil extra.
Tnx in advance
