Apple is everything but helpful. I emailed them last 2 weeks
and they don't want to say a thing. I have no idea how slow diep would
be on a G4, they only make PR for how fast their FPU (called velocity
engine at the g4) is.

My sister has a dual G4 at home, so i'll compile DIEP there one day.
However for programmers G4 isn't interesting in advance as it
runs at most at 733Mhz and dual at 533Mhz. Compare that to a dual 1Ghz intel
and within a few months dual 1.5Ghz K7 !!
