Hi all,

I just make benchmarks on some of my machines using
POVRay raytracer (have a look http://www.povray.org)
using benchmark.pov.

Now the result :

SUN Ultra5 (270 Mhz) / Solaris 8 / Gcc 3.0.1 : 10h14
HP-UX 712 (80 Mhz) / HP-UX 10.20 / Gcc 3.3 : 21h41
SUN SS5 (110 Mhz) / NetBSD 1.6 / Gcc 2.95.3 : 40h34

I'm realy surprised by theses values :
- my SS5 is 1/4 slower than a Pentium 100 under M$-NT
(from the benchmark web site)
- My ultra5 is very close to a Pentium (300 Mhz)
- my HP workstation is 2 time faster than my SS5

So, does-it means :
- Sparc architecture is very bad in doing floating
point computing ?
- HP-PA is very powerfull in floating point
- there is some performances problem under NetBSD
because my SS5 seems very very slower than the HP
Workstation and even the P100 is better :-(

I'm also a little disappointed by my Ultra5
performances because I thought it should be better
than the P300.

Any comments ?

Bye

Laurent
