For a typical job mix, it is pretty close to a wash. The PII seems to have a slight advantage, on the order of 5%. If you are compute bound, and the task fits in cache, the Celery has an advantage, since there is no wait state on cache hits. The PII has a much bigger cache, so even though cache hits are more expensive, they are more likely. I am pretty much unable to tell the difference between a Celeron and a PII at the same clock. The vast majority of my desktop computing isn't compute bound, though. David Scheidt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
