pavel's quick benchmark
This one actually has a huge advantage: factor seems to be part of default installation, so it is easy to run on all machines down to sharp zaurus.
It also shows just how slow those embedded cpus are. I always assumed that arm@400MHz was approximately as fast as pentiumMMX@200MHz. ... that's quite far away from truth.
root@amd:~# time factor $[65863223*65863159]
4337959928701457: 65863159 65863223
amd: 0.591 s
eee @ 630: 1.673 s
eee @ 900: 1.858 s ?!
arima: 0.536 s
hobit: 0.376 s
zaurus: 21.99 s
kohjinsha: 4.062 s
Surprising notes here: Asus eee is much faster than kohjinsha. (In fact, eee has pretty cool CPU, it can compile kernel in like 15 minutes, unlike kohjinshas 90 minutes). And even kohjinsha's geode@500MHz is 5 times faster than zaurus... So zaurus is more like pentium@100MHz.
And now... What's the best and the worst result you can get in pavel's benchmark? Does someone has 386sx still running? Or will some ARMs be even slower? And is there anyone with those pentium extreme's at 3GHz?
