I would speculate that it would be a tad bit slower:
1) The newer Celerons have a 128k L2 cache, less than the 256K L2 cache
found on the PII
2) Even though the Celeron L2 cache runs at CPU speed (rather than CPU/2
speed like the PII), it's smaller size negates any improvement.
What I'd really like to see are comparisons between Xeon's running at the
same speed but with different L2 sizes, including the 2MB L2 cache model.
But since those are REAL expensive, I don't expect anyone has any of those?
