CELERON is indeed a great processor. To my big surprise is
a 450Mhz celeron nowadays 7.2% faster for DIEP.

when running parallel version of DIEP, this one is still faster
than the PII, but less than 5%.

this is quite weird considering that about a year ago celeron
was a lot slower for DIEP. At that time my datastructure was
smaller as it was 8 bits mainly. Right now everything is 32 bits.

For crafty celeron is about 10% faster.

indeed, hard to compete with for AMD!
