[Virtualacorn-list] VirtualRPC Speed Comparisons...

[ATimbrell at aol.com]

Thanks to everyone who has run a test - I'm reproducing the results so  far
below (although more results are always welcome). I've also added a
result from a "real" RISC OS machine for comparison.
 
However I can already draw a couple of conclusions:
 
The CPU on the VPRC (both Windows and Mac) seem to
be returning similar figures. The Celeron (PC) and PowerPC
(Mac) chips seem to be returning similar(ish) figures which
is also roughly right.
 
So far the "fastest" machine is a Mac - which is what I would
expect. It's clicking around 5 times the performance of a
StrongARM RiscPC (for this test). 
 
What I really could do with are BogoMips results from the
VRPC on the Mac that was much slower than the Iyonix.
 
By running each test and comparing it with other people's
results I hope to be able to work out in which area the "slow"
VRPC is underperforming.
