Note - these AMD Sempron measurements are 2 years out of date and aren't based on the same programs or hardware or language implementations or workload as the current measurements. Look at the boxplot overlap - don't fixate on the median value. http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/debian/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=all&d=data&gpp=on&objc=on&java=on&calc=calculate&box=1 As for the "average score" whatever that's worth - http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/debian/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=all&d=data _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
