Ah yes, if you define the test criteria correctly, you can make anybody 
win. ;-)



Back when the old Amiga was around, it used to amuse me to compare how a 
16 MHz PC running Windoze 3 would crawl along compared to my dad's 4 MHz 
Amiga. Not to mention that the Amiga had vastly superior graphics and 
sound, and a true premptive multitasking operating system, and basically 
a PC couldn't compare to it on any scale.

And then I discovered FractInt and POV-Ray, and the benefit of a 16 MHz 
processor became apparent. ;-)

I still wonder though - what if people wrote code today like they used 
to write it back then? How much more stuff could we get done? Even 
Debian Linux *crawls* along on an Amiga, and everybody says how Linux is 
much more efficient than Windoze. But clearly it's no match for AmigaOS, 
so.....



This one amused me though:

"The lower the level of the code language, the less processing cycles 
are required to get something done."

Obviously this is demonstratably false.
