Version:      1.1
Requires:     OS2.04
Architecture: m68k-amigaos

This small CLI utility displays the maximum speed in kBytes per
second for reading, writing and copying in RAM. If will also do a
read test in ROM. MemSpeed checks the speed of your Chip-RAM, Fast-
RAM and ROM by applying a buffer of 128k. The speed test routine is 
a loop of 64 MOVE.L instructions running in supervisor mode with 
interrupts disabled, which will fit in all instruction caches from 
68020 on.

MemSpeed v1.1 is Freeware.


Here are some results I got by using MemSpeed on my 
A4000/040 (instruction cache was always enabled):
