Subject: poor performances on cyrix 6x86

Hello,

I have a cyrix 6x86-P150 (a 120 Mhz CPU) to test. I've run some private
benchamrks on this CPU, and a pentium 120. I found the p120 from 15 to
50% fater in most of the case, and in all tests involving interger or
float calculations. According to cyrix, the 6x86 should have been faster.

Did someone else made such benchs ? With other OS ?

At boot, NetBSD reports the CPU to be a "i486DX (486-class CPU)". Perhaps it
doesn't make use of pentium-specific stuffs ?
