> Why don't you tell me what this means, first. Although Jim has lost his writing skills in the last hour, his point is a good one. Yeah, P4 gets faster when you optimize for it. But is it fair if this benchmark is optimized for the P4 but not really optimized for the Celeron? I mean, for example, do these optimizations really reflect optimizations in the corresponding real world code? Do most people run all their apps at once (as I do), or would it really be more fair to benchmark one intensive app at a time, which may very well make the Celeron look better (running all those apps at once would be really friendly to a faster cpu bus, and that's a P4 advantage)?
