Hi:
   I am developing program under MVME2600. But I found the program is not as
fast as I think. So I tested my computer board using the mothed like this
and get some impossible results:

  * fill the mem from 0x4000 to 0x8000 with instruction 'or r0,r0,r0'
  * DEC ==> r3, us counter value ==> r13 at 0x4000
  * DEC ==> r4, us counter value ==> r14 at 0x8000
  * breakpoint at 0x8008
  * go from 0x4000

The display of PPCbug like this:

The result:
r4 -r3 = 0x1869 , r14 - r13 = 0x17B (379us) . There are 0x1000 asm
instruction from 0x4000 to 0x8000 (4096), than the MIPS = 4096/379 = 10MIPS
. It's impossilbe because the MPU is 200Mhz and bus is 67Mhz. The MIPS
should be higher than 200MIPS.

  I have made some mistakes? What are they?
