Bill, Do you really know how cache really works? Nobody could write a program to have less cache hits in PII chip than in G3. Besides, cache is not the only factor to determine the final score. The efficiency of the coordination between CPU, memory and cache will be a bigger factor for benchmark. The reason for lower cache hits in PII is not totally program-dependent, instead, it is the inefficiency of how PII chips handle each execution piece code (e.g. ld - load) sent from memory and CPU. There is no 100% cache hits in any condition in any platform. My conclusion is the queuing theory has been better taken in G3 than PII, that causes higher cache hits in G3 in randomly selected programs. Phil

To All interested parties: After diligent attention to most Apple subjects on the thread and following a concerted effort for penetrating observation and concentration I finally received a clear sign from a great psychic power as to the underlying purpose of Mr. Jobs' talk this morning. It is to smile and wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's day. The smile, however will reveal the true nature of the greeting: to show how happy he is and this will be interpreted by all that great things are coming for Apple and just remember, "Spring is around the corner"...the time for Apples to break out of their seeds and GROW to produce new seeds. Thank you for your attention. I will now proceed to support this announcement by buying some APPLE seeds. Herb
