This is an interesting benchmark of pure FPU grunt. Is there any site that
collects these results? If not, I think it'd be a great idea.
Summary of systems (best viewed with a fixed width font :):
| CPU | RAM | Time | PPSPMHZ* |
|-------------|-----|------|----------|
| Athlon 950 | ??? | 56 | 14.78 |
| Athlon 1200 | 128 | 49 | 13.37 |
| Athlon 800 | 128 | 77 | 12.77 |
| P3 800 | 256 | 77 | 12.77 |
| G3 350 | 128 | 188 | 11.95 |
| Celeron 400 | 192 | 168 | 11.70 |
| P 200 MMX | ??? | 540 | 7.28 |
| K6-2 400 | 192 | 400 | 4.92 |
| ??? | ??? | 699 | ??? |

* Pixels per second per megahertz
Very interesting results, especially for the Athlons, though quite
explainable. The Athlon 950 is faster in PPSPMHZ (I've got to think of a
better acronym!) because at this speed, the limit would be how fast you can
move stuff too and from RAM. Therefore, the score in PPSPMHZ woudl drop as
you got faster speeds (more PPS but a greater increase in MHZ). The Athlon
800 probably has a lower bus speed.
Another good indicator would be PPSP$ (pixels per second per $).
| CPU | RAM | Time | Price | PPSP$ |

| Celeron 400 | 192 | 168 | 40 | 117.0 |

| Athlon 950 | ??? | 56 | 153 | 91.8 |
| Athlon 1200 | 128 | 49 | 267 | 60.1 |
| K6-2 400 | 192 | 400 | 33 | 59.6 |
| P3 800 | 256 | 77 | 180 | 56.7 |

Shame on us all! The Celery wins! Of course, this is probably not a good
test as a single Athlon 800 ($163) would be far cheaper than buying 2
Celeron 400's and networking them together. However, a BP6 with two Celeron
400 would be nice (and cheap).
Okay, that's the end of my ramblings. No flame on the rankings please :)
