The Cyrix probably has the worst FPU of any x86 clone... I had a Cyrix 300
running and I quickly realized that it's good for factoring and that was
about it.
I've also got a couple AMD K6 400's that are similarly pokey. They could do
a double-check of around M(5M) in reasonable time, but I put them on
factoring because that's just what those processors can best be doing.
Now...my Pentium III 600's are kicking butt at LL testing...
It's all a matter of finding the right work for the CPU you have. If all
you can do is factoring with a certain system, hey, factoring is fun too!
