The G3, by a fair margin ;)

Here are a few numbers on execution speed as far as Hiarcs 6 is
concerned. This all comes from running a test suite, don't ask me for
details ;) :

Machine       CPU           performance  nps/MHz
-------       ---           -----------  -------
Mac G3  /266  266MHz 750    39,934 nps     150
Pent II /266  266MHz PII    25,604 nps      96
Mac 8600/200  200MHz 604e   24,203 nps     121
Mac 7300/180  180MHz 604e   22,184 nps     123
AMD K6/200    200MHz K6     21,396 nps     107
Pentium Pro   200MHz P6     17,438 nps      87
Pentium P5    200MHz P5     12,680 nps      63

Since the 604e provides nearly the same nps/MHz (1.6% difference in
above table) regardless of CPU clock, I'd assume the 750(G3)/300 gets
around 45,000 nps (rounded down).

Now if the same happens to be true for the PII, you'll need a 466 MHz
PII to get at least CLOSE to those 45,000 nps ;)

Problem one: no 466 MHz PII in sight.
Problem two: 340 MHz G3 reality today.
