on 68000:
ADDX.W dn,dm is 4 cycles
ADDX.L dn,dm is 8 cycles
There is no instruction on the 68000 that takes less than 4 cycles to execute, and because the bus interface is set up the way it is on the ST (CPU can do one memory access every 4 cycles), the minimum execution time for a sequeunce of instructions is equivalent to 4x the number of memory accesses (instruction+data) that are required to fulfill the operations.
