It is probably true. From my experience, with various versions of gcc, PPC code runs on a G4 (7450) at about the same speed as a half frequency Athlon. Of course, this should not affect network or flash IO, since even slow processors should manage. > I'm looking for set of Linux utilities that > can check hardware/OS performance. > > Maybe some kind of benchmarking set. > > It have to have following features: > 1.

I found lmbench useful for this. It's not extremely easy if you want to cross-compile on a PC, run on an embedded board, and view results on the PC, but it is doable. -- Matan Ziv-Av.
