See my response to you after repling to Pavel.

Heck I'll repost it.

No, relative hardware will give relative results. Do you think CM8K magically
performs better on the a 1.2Ghz machine, relative to it's peers? There is only
a speed up of approx. 3x on the 1.2 Ghz. The ratings you see correspond
accordingly.
That's not "Scientific" and I don't know exactly what you're doing, but
regardless of that your sample size is also far to small.
