I made differents tests:
Linux kernel compilation and nbench.
I promise to put detailed benches on my page soon :-)
My conclusion is:
the code I'm working on is equivalent to a 200 Mhz PPC on my amd64 3000+
(2Ghz).
Nbench gives 1/15 ratio, which seems coherent.
The CVS code is about two or three times slower because I do a lot of
context synchronisations that a real CPU won't do and this makes context
switches very slow: this really slows down tests like "make olconfig" on
a Linux kernel: makes does a lot of forks.
