I was surprised that the P3 800 is exactly as fast as the Athlon 800 so
I tried it on our P3's:

 | P3 800      |1024 |   94 |   10.46  |
 | P3 600      | 256 |  134 |    9.78  |
 | P3 500      | 256 |  172 |    9.14  |

Quite a bit lower. 

Is your P3 result correct, or did you mistakenly put in the Athlon
results a second time? 

Of course that could also be a compiler issue: All our three boxes are
running Linux. I used the official build on the 800 and 600 and compiled
it myself on the 500.

Also, all three boxes have an ASUS board.

Since BPB (bang per buck) seems to be a used for the performance/cost
ratio, how about BPC (bang per clock)? :-)
