I think the diffierence is around 3.4X. PC100 ram and bigger on-chip cache
only contribue 14% in my tests with my own program.

For Crafty I think the bsf/bsr contribute to the difference another
10%. I believe speed is mainly clockwise for chess program. And level 1
cache is the second important factor. PC 100 ram speeds up very little.

So for crafty, I guess the difference would be about 3.9X.
Are there any data to support my calculations?
