Hmm, a 200 MHz Pentium (MMX), 3.2-RELEASE, everything in cache:

$ /usr/bin/time file twofish.tar.gz
twofish.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, deflated, last modified: Mon Jun 15 02:40:53 
1998, os: Unix
        0.35 real         0.24 user         0.10 sys

I'd say that considering that things are cached (cpu-bound), it's very
accurately proportional to Leif's time.  Variances can be accounted
for by the slight implementation differences (the MMX version has a
bigger L1 and better branch prediction).

It's also reasonably proportional to a 400 MHz PII (0.09/0.08/0.01
running 3.2 -- 0.06/0.04/0.01 running 2.2.8, BTW).  Considering the
completely different core, this is also quite close to what you might
expect.

What are your results, then?
