How fast does the original C code run on the iMac? That would be
the only fair comparison of hardware.
A cleverly done fractal program will usually run *much* faster than
the first, simplest, implemenation of the algorithm. If your app's
speed is bottlenecked by one small section of code it's always a good
idea to see if asm for that little bit would make a worthwhile
difference.
