Cop out, Commodore was already years behind the competition when they
finally went into production. 25MHz 68040 in 1996? A 25MHz 68030 A3000
was available in 1990... I thought processor speeds were meant to double
every 2 years?

In retrospect Sun were making much nicer workstations at the time :) My
sparcstation 2 blows it away (40MHz RISC, 64Mb RAM, 2x400mb scsi all
circa 1992) and it is still running 24/7
