SPEC benchmark is no longer a typical user program. My main load now is the running of X-window applications. Anyone has figures for X11 running on Intel Microprocessors? I only try it on our 386/25 and 486/33. SPEC benchmark is no longer a typical user program. My main load now is the running of X-window applications. Anyone has figures for X11 running on Intel Microprocessors? I only try it on our 386/25(no cache) and 486/33. The figure for X11perf -bigtilerect500 is about 2 versus 4.4 per second. The speedup is only 120% which shows that the internal cache effect becomes negligible. Even then x11perf is a repetition benchmark which can make available cache look more impressive than it should be. -- Othman bin Ahmad, School of EEE, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 2263.
