My K6-2-350 runs about 15 times faster than a 33 MHz 386, while my 3.3 GHz i5 runs only about 10 times faster, in both cases with the caches enabled. What do you not understand? You can try to claim that the SLOWDOWN test I performed is somehow "tainted" or "unrealistic" or "unfair" or "sub-optimal" or something like that, but the results are very real and are simply what they are. Also, as already stated, the purpose of SLOWDOWN is not to be a benchmark but you can indirectly use it as a benchmark. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
