Well, what would stop it!?!?!?!?  68040's are not quite as simple as
you'd expect for the 68k series... (Althogh 68060's are a clear
improvement even over that.)  Have you not run an LC575 or equiv/higher
lately?  They really aren't slow...(relative, of course...if you think
they're really slow with MacOS, put {Net,Open}BSD on them and they begin
to fly nicely...)

In any case, I don't see why being a "33MHz CISC processor" has anything
to do with MP3ablity.  There are less obvious, but far more important
issues.  As well CISC vs RISC meaning near nothing these days...
