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 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.
