Tim, Re: "The point is that RC4, RC5, and RSA benchmarks have nothing to do with "breaking ciphers" and everything to do with processing secure transactions."

Well that's good news, since the Pentium 4 is said to do very well with security transactions. The fact that it runs so poorly on Anand's RC client should tell you something about the quality of that software. Many other applications in the same field run perfectly fine on a Xeon or Pentium 4 processor.

Hi Tim, RE: "A friend of mine who works at RSA recently apprised me of some optimized Itanium benchmarks. Even the 733 MHz Itanium grossly outperformed the Ultrasparc III."

Can you post these benchmarks?
