Speed tests - G4-400 and PIII-600

[Stephane GEORGES <sg@dalim.de>]

I've made speed tests on programs running on my LinuxPPC on G4-400 Mhz AGP,
and on Pentium III 600 Mhz.

Both machines have same disks performances (with hdparm, about 20 Mo/s).

GCC versions:
    - on Intel : egcs-1.1.2-24
    - on PowerPC: egcs-1.1.2-12c

Bogomips:
    - on Intel : ~ 600
    - on PowerPC: ~ 800

The test programs are dealing with run-length images processing.

I was disapointed by the fact that the Intel machine ran 25% faster
than the PowerPC machine.

I thought that a G4-400 was worth a PIII-800 ...
Maybe gcc including Alvitec patches will provide better performances ...
