andreas, thanks for the explanation. I've programmed a fractal generator in the past. Its highly iterative -- each calculation must be completed before the next one begins, so super deep pipelines will kill it.

I wouldn't be surprised if a 500 MHz K6-2 would beat a 1.5 GHz P4 on "Apfelmännchen" because of its low latency FPU.
