That's my take on benchmarks

I'd say that's probably the most valid take on benchmarks I've ever seen here. I'm sure that the reason that the K7 does well and the P4 does poorly is that all of the FPU is performed by the x87 unit for that program. It's really kind of sad that vendors won't even try to get more performance out of their programs with a simple recompile, but then again, they've got limited resources as well.
