Programming a "slow-down" timing code is the cheap mans alternative to delta timing, it does not meen the hardware was performing the same.
Simply because a lot of programmers failed to write programs to make use of extra hardware (and all too frequently non top-rated commercial games failed to run at 25fps lets not forget) doesnt meen that hardware was unified, it meens only that programmers where lazy or shortsighted.
Your games ran at the same speed because the programmer put in a speed limit. Not because the hardware was equal.
In terms of the 99.9% / 100.1% remember that NTSC market Amigas ran faster than PAL Amiga's which rendered an extra 56? scanlines at lo-res... I forgot this earlier, so that's 12 base spec Amigas.
