Joel,
I also rewrote the test and parked it on:
	http://iou.parisc-linux.org/hppa/clup.c

Here's the output from a a500-6x running 2.6.10-rc1-pa12-SMP:
grundler@iodine:~$ gcc-3.3 -o clup0 clup.c
grundler@iodine:~$ gcc-3.3 -DLOOP2X -o clup1 clup.c
grundler@iodine:~$ gcc-3.3 -march=2.0 -DLP64 -o clup2 clup.c
grundler@iodine:~$ gcc-3.3 -march=2.0 -DLP64 -DLOOP2X -o clup3 clup.c
grundler@iodine:~$ gcc-3.3 -march=2.0 -DLP64 -DLOOP2X -DPREFETCH -o clup4 clup.c
grundler@iodine:~$ for i in 0 1 2 3 4; do time ./clup$i ; done 2>&1 | fgrep user 
user    0m2.393s
user    0m2.392s
user    0m1.238s
user    0m1.224s
user    0m1.225s

I've varied the prefetch values and nothing seems to be helping.
I have to wonder if it's because the kernel VM is interferring
with the test.

But doubling the stride for 64-bit is consistently ~1.8% improvement.
