bogomips is usually about double the cpu speed, but you can't count on
that. I would imagine that cache size and fpu performance were
significant factors.
Let's assume this app of your is floating point intensive (fairly safe
assumption), and doesn't use a heck of a lot of RAM or disk (already
shown to be true). So now you need to rate the fpu of the various
processors and machines around. So I would read reviews of various
machines in computer performance mags where they publish sane
benchmarks, to get an idea of what would be best

Yeah - makes sense. Thanks.
Back to Google FPU stuff.
Thanks for your inputs.
Cheers,
