If you run Minix, your mileage will vary... In particular, the CMI board has its "Fast ROM" feature, which won't help Minix, while the FAST-T16 board's cache should help Minix same as before, as long as you don't use self-modifying code (presumably). It's nice to see benchmarks; the only thing I could have wished for was (1) a benchmark of a REAL program with loops that does a fair amount of computing in registers with low cycle-count instructions (not shifts or floating point), and (2) less marketing hype... ------ Greg Lindahl gl8f@virginia.edu I'm not the NRA.
