Does anyone else notice that their Celeron based machines seem to take a relatively bigger performance hit when moving from testing exponents in the 384K FFT size to the 448K FFT size (under V18.1, at least)? I have a couple of non-overclocked Celeron 400 machines and, at the 384K FFT size, they report timings nearly identical to those George sent out in his email message of a couple of days ago, timings generated by his PII-400. However, when the machines test exponents with the 448K FFT size, they are more than 20% slower! Is the Celeron's relatively small L2 cache finally causing it to lose ground to the PII/PIIIs as the FFT sizes get larger and larger?
