You read it correctly. But please see the caveat at the table end. Do they both use Debian Wheezy guest? You have a remark that ppc64 has problems with its clock. Was it taken into account when the slowdown factors were calculated? The time of a job is computed as the difference between a time stamp made by the test system and the report time. The first time is affected by ppc64's slow clock, the latter is correct. A cron job sets the clock every 30 minutes, so the ppc time might be *overestimated* < 30 minutes. -- Torbjörn
