Please feel free to run the tests yourself, and if you give
me the results, I'll be sure to post them at a later date
at http://www.chamas.com/bench/ . You can grab the benchmarks
from http://www.chamas.com/bench/hello.tar.gz
Its only with data from multiple platforms that people will
get a comfortable look at the environments cross platform
exactly as you say.

Yes, I've done these 300Mhz tests before on Solaris & WinNT
and the results are at http://www.chamas.com/bench/ ... got
to http://www.chamas.com/bench/hello_bysystem.html for anything
useful.

The new thing this round of testing is a portable test suite
that anyone can run and control their factors as they please.
