From: Peter Arremann <loony at loonybin.org> > Compiles aren't a great benchmark for a box since its 100% cpu and > neglects memory or disk performance but I had the numbers handy > for that :-) BTW, it is 100% ALU and a major strain on the ALU LOAD. In other words, it's not a good benchmark for even CPU. That's why the 3-issue ALU in the Nx586 on-ward blows the 2-issue ALU in PPro on-ward (especially the P4) to crap. But that's all besides the point because it has _0_ to do with server performance period, even computationally intensive. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith at ieee.org
