Why even bother with that? Just use gigaflops or something that is not
hardware dependent at all...

It's like trying to measure the distance you have traveled (gigaflops)
using a Yugo (P90) versus a Corvette (P4)... They both travel the same
distance, just the Yugo is slower... The real important data is how far
you have traveled, right?

Or use bogomips... :)
