referencing few past posts (about processing required to handle all the
TPF/ACP reservations in the world) mentioning cellphone xscale processor
(in TREO) rated at a thousand MIPS

xscale/arm reference:

above mentions that there are already 20 billion ARM processosrs and
more than 10 million ARM processors ship everyday.

3031 was one mip, 3032 was 3mips, and 3033 was 4.5mips.
