Subject: Shreddermark linearity

My PC is a 1.2 GHz Athlon.  I get a ShredderMark of 556 / 128k nps when Shredder
8 is set to 190k hash.

I just bought a cheap very Dell system that usess a 2.8 GHz Pentium IV.  I
figured it would be less than twice as fast.  Instead, I get a ShredderMark of
2227 / 297k nps (also using 190k hash)!

First, why is the ShredderMark 4x as high when the integer performance of the
CPU should be less than 2x as high?

Second, why isn't the ShredderMark's improvement proportional to that of the
nps?
