The benchmarks for TSCP at my homepage show a 20% difference. I think this is a
pretty good number, considering that the SPECint difference is also somewhere
around 20%.

If you're running a pretty memory intensive chess program (possibly HIARCS), you
might see more of an increase on the G3/G4 because it has a bigger L2 cache.
