Im almost sure that Apollo FPU has only support for very basic FPU instructions like fadd, fsub, fmul, fdiv etc Complicated and hard enough to implement FPU instructions like fsin, fcos, ftan etc are unsupported. Then your program will be only show how slow is Apollo FPU, not like fast is Apollo FPU. Seems that Gunnar still is big fan of software emulation of instructions which can (or must) be internal part of every good CPU/FPU. You can read this old thread with Gunnar posts:

yep asshole lies lies lies then when u bust him out on it he bans you lol
