Dave,

no these times are better because the 604e at the same clock speed is
faster than a pentium pro at the same clock speed (byte magazine
article recently) and much faster than a pentium.  a 603e is roughly
equal to a pentium at same clock speed.

The piwg benchmarks as i recall showed no gain in performace between
3.05 and 3.07 in this area.  (i could be wrong its been several months
since i looked at the numbers).  another interesting thing from the
piwgs (i have the graphs for these) is that my 120 mhz 8500 beats our
150 mhz SGI indy in most all piwg tests, and my 180mhz upgrade to the
same 8500 boosted it to the point where it beats out our 250mhz onyx in
most all tests.
