Well, since the "M" stands for "meaningless" I would say it's not terribly relevant. Still, using Barton's famous "number" of 4, I think 17.5 MIP translates to about a 72MHz Intel system. You might want to raise the cap.

It is running SLES8. When I start the perl debug session, I can go have a cup of coffee before it prompts. On an ordinary intel box it is almost instantaneous! 5% of 350mips = 17.5mips or is it not relevant here? Wonder what others are experiencing.
