K6-3-400 is around 40% faster than a similarly clocked K6-2 99/03/30, 1:05pm - Interesting. Two places put up reviews of the K6-3 (here and here) on the same day, and they both included Unix kernel compiles (one, I think, was Linux; the other, I believe, FreeBSD). It seems that this is one of the K6-3's particular strong points, I wanted to draw attention to it for the Unix users around here, since it was quite surprising. Using the numbers at CPU Review: K6-3-400 is around 40% faster than a similarly clocked K6-2 (CXT, I believe, though I don't know if the Write Allocation stuff was enabled), as well as doing the job nearly 20% faster than a PII-400 and 3% faster than a 450MHz cached Celeron.
