>> Sieve of Eratosthenes..I forgot the exact results...

@ 4Mhz (not 2.8!) ten iterations requires 1.56 seconds
6502 @ 4Mhz (half the speed).
The Jan '83 Byte claimed 4.0 seconds for a 5Mhz PC.  But if you
look at that issue, the code was written in Pascal!

Finally, the Sieve benchmark is real lousy since most of the stuff
is byte operations (except that nasty divide).

Let's compare apples and PC, not apples and oranges here!
