I did another benchmark. We took a program we had overhere, which took real cpu time on our sun's (SS1 / SS1+). We compiled && ran it also on a R140 + ARM3 + RiscIX. And the sun (also running UNIX, just a different flavour) cleared the job in 10% time of the archimedes. This was a program with a very small amount of FP (approx 1% on the suns.). Now i almost only use the archimedes as a B&W X terminal...
