Well, the traditional 'casual' benchmark is the time used for compiling a kernel (with some given configuration). This is more reliable than bogomips since it measures a real, useful, computation -- but of course it may match more or less well your usual mixture of dependency on cpu/disk/RAM performance. -- Henning Makholm http://www.diku.dk/students/makholm
