	Interesting.  But also a bit disappointing.  I thought a G5 clocked
at 2 GHz would give a much faster benchmark.  Here you basically get the same
score (even slightly slower) than an AMD Athlon XP 2400+, which architecture
is more than 3 years older.
	But that's most likely the compiler is not good enough for the G5 yet.

	Thorsten will better answer than me, but the speed increase may also
be due to the Mac-specific just-in-time compiler that is used for the function
virtual machine, and that you don't get with the Unix version.
