ROMark scores c.610k dhrystone MIPs on my 0810/520 Recompiler 
installation here, running on a Dell XPS 3.4GHz i7 Win7/64 platform.

Indeed: that suspicion is supported by Chris Hall's benchmarks here
https://www.riscosopen.org/forum/forums/5/topics/466?page=8
where VRPC on a 2668MHz PC gives only 175% compared to a bog-standard 
S/ARM RPC, i.e. 1524MHz = 100%; the corresponding figure for RPCEmu 
here is approx. 1000MHz = 100%. Obviously that assumes a similar 
processor type in the 2668MHz machine, which may not be the case.

That's a very high dhrystone figure for a Pi: I got 450,080 when I 
tested one recently.

No indeed.

As Peter H has just explained.
