Problem is, we may or may not get better POV-Ray performance under it.
We'll have to wait and see the POV-Bench in action on it.

What I'd like to see more is a set of comparsion stats:
1) integer heavy 2) float heavy 3) 'general'(working..)
all 386 mean the general code, ie. no specific hardware optimizations, but a
general 386 (+ 387 in the floating point) compiled code.
opt. (imized) means a platform specific build off a general source, only
compiler optimizations, no source stuff (asm...)
builds should be from the same source-files and use a free(meaning publibly
avaiable) compiler.
386 compile
--crusoe 400
--amd (various) 400
--wintel (various) 400
native compile
--crusoe 400
--amd (various) 400
--wintel (various) 400
It would be nice to see how much overhead the actual emulator does, and some
other things.
