With a couple of coders interested too and a lot of ideas being kicked around i'm fairly confident there'll be a few pieces of new software fairly soon that will have been written to use it's speed, instead of just relying on it to speed up old software.

Re[2]: Latest Quazar News (April 2006)
You're right - the SAM version of Escape... was not all that good. Problem was, I had the Amiga version which was a near-perfect 2-player arcade game at that time, so it made it look worse than it really was!
