I've compared the SS1 to a Mylex 33MHz 386 (w/ISC 2.0.2) on a number of
different tests and found that they varied widely.  The 386 was
noticeably faster on a number of things, and the SS1 was faster on
others.

The Mylex lacked a 387, but on purely integer things it was often 10%
faster than the SS1.
