apple dual g4 vs. dual amd

We should make a small collection of custom or downloadable progs he could use to benchmark them.

U could use this if linux was on both machines:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
void main() {
time_t nowa;
time(&nowa);
printf("Time: %s", asctime(localtime(&nowa)));
int long number = 1;
while (number < 1000000) {
number++;
printf("Number: %d \n", number);
}
printf("Start Time: %s", asctime(localtime(&nowa)));
time_t nowb;
time(&nowb);
printf("End Time: %s", asctime(localtime(&nowb)));

}


Calcing the numbers isn't hard for it, its just displaying those numbers.

3D rendering or applying filters to multiple layers at once.

there will be no "benchmark" cross-compat app.
