Here's another review of what you said:

Now, I questioned the "not giving anywhere near 2x the cpu performance." Here's
your response:

>>Remember, the PII L2 cache *always* runs at half the core clock speed.
>>If Crafty fit in L1/L2 cache, you *would* see a ~2x speedup.
>The PII doesn't always run at 1/2.  That's what the PII/Xeon is all about,

Uhm, wrong.

I'd be happy to discuss the data you present to this forum, but not if your
story is going to get this screwed up.
