In this journal entry, for #AMayGA2025, I'll once again be looking at multitasking performance. After some feedback, I'll be doing a more accurate comparison between my Amiga 600 and my Lenovo running Mint Linux. This time I'll estimate the actual speed difference and then proceed on running a proportional number of jobs to see how Linux performs. I'll also revisit the QL and see how many infinite loop programs it can handle.

20:07 Sinclair QL - ho many can the QL handle?
31:12 Wrapping up - all things considered, Amiga still on top!
