PowerPup, I appreciate it but actually I'm pretty sure that configuration will run even if I have to deprecate 601s. The only system I'm slightly worried about is the 7200 because I don't know enough about how the upgrade card works, though I imagine Sonnet has it covered.
That said, there are some other problems emerging with me porting TraceMonkey (not least of which being the source code is heavily gcc centric and the code generator needs quite a lot of rewriting for CodeWarrior). I'm pretty sure I can do it but I'm also pretty sure I don't want to do it right now.
And, today, I heard from someone using a IIci and a 601/66 to run Classilla. He has 96MB RAM installed and describes it as pokey, but useable. Now that is hardcore. 8-o
So I'm pretty much thinking I'm going to stick with SpiderMonkey for 9.2 and 9.2.1-9.2.2. When I go back to JavaScript, probably sometime after the 9.3 layout update, we'll have to take up this matter again. I've had a few suggestions to use mfrtcl/mfrtcu instead, though I am not sure how well that will work (it's ns resolution, but mftb/mftbu is cycle resolution, and I don't know how much precision is needed). I also have to confess I don't fully understand how TraceMonkey's code generator works, and there are many bigger fish to fry now that I at least have SpiderMonkey running in Classilla.
Still, anybody using a 601 (a 68K with a 601 or an x100/7200/7500) for this is definitely invited to post here so I can hear about it.
