I suppose the CIA is on the main board, so running with the slower clock 
speed that you'd see with a vanilla Amiga without 060 accelerator board. 
Ought to be representative enough?

Adrian has a few other Amigas with different hardware base, so we might 
be able to get test coverage on more than one model.

Cheers,
