Hi All,

just a coment, I did a bit of testing on an Intel pentium III 700MHz in C using
netBSD.

A simple program to test the number of multiplies that can be done per unit
time.

the results were roughly as follows 

100M/sec for int multiplies.
5M/sec for floating point..

a bit disapointing on the floating point side. 

An alcheapo TMS processor 40MHz can do 40MFLOPS(probably marketing speed though)

This explains why it battles with simulation type packages. Matlab, and spice.

cheers justin.
