That's really ...sad! :(

That mean's when compiling for -m68020, the FPU is completly ignored, too.
Right?

I know that an FPU can speed up floating point operations dramatically,
and floating point math is involved alot in encryption / decryption - as
far as I know. 

Anyone here has numbers regarding the speedup when using the FPU? I would
at least expect values like 100% speed inprovement ;)  But maybe I'm
totally wrong?
