Apple Macintosh PhotoFlash - Manual (Page 146)

You can accelerate some aspects of PhotoFlash’s performance by installing
accelerator cards in your computer. Accelerators designed to accelerate
specific programs, such as PhotoFlash, Adobe Photoshop (2.0.1 and 2.5 or
higher), and Storm PicturePress, are sold by SuperMac Technology and
DayStar Digital
™ .
All of these accelerator cards feature two programmable digital signal
processors (AT&T DSP16A chips) that can process 60 to 80 million
instructions per second. The specific aspects of program performance
that these accelerator cards improve vary depending on the program.
Power Macintosh computers typically do not benefit from accelerator cards.
