Pentium III, hell the K6-2/450 here with Solaris 8 beat the
UltraSparc10 (300MHZ)... (gcc compile and build of an object over NFS with
the same server).
Amazing that my home toy outperforms the work box.
Both had IDE drives and 128mb memory.
(Personally, I prefer FreeBSD on the K6... but that wasn't what I was
testing in the benchmark)...
