A few programs are causing problems, particularly Papyrus, which objects
to the former cache settings.
Also there appears to be no details for half-clocking the CPU to get TC
mode above 320 x 240 where previously I was able to obtain 720 x 544 TC,
esential for CAB.
As I said, loading extra programs like MagiC, Thing or HS Modem is not
possible, unless I run the machine for about 10 minutes or so in TOS,
and sometimes it will allow a warm boot to then load TK4 etc.

Yep, sorry for the above, I thought that the flags were set for
GemBench!

Ok, new figures, much better, (but some of the others are slower than I
would expect): Gem dialog 306%
VDI Enquire 760%
New Dialogs 293%
CPU 610%
The above is in 16 colours but this time include Nemisis
Toolkit settings as follows:
Processor
Enable D & I cache
TOS Superstack write through mode use Fastram
General
Write protect Rom
Nemisis 40mhz
Memory
Allocate Fast Ram
Perform Ram check
Display
Nonserialized
Videl 4mb
