And around that time I remember writing some of my own benchmark tests in C and running both on the RS/6000s and on the fastest PCs we had available running Linux. Things like calculating PI out to 100,000 decimal places for instance. Both floating point and integer type tests and I remember the results were drastic. For instance a test that may take 30 seconds on the RS/6000 could take 30 minutes or more on the PC. Granted, my tests were not scientific but the same code, compiler, and optimization flags were used on both machines.

I used the RS/600 AIX boxen for many years and they

down to a crawl.....ah!  good times... good times.
