Those are wierd performance numbers.  My native Zaurus SqueakVM atop the
framebuffer gets
12_326_656 bc/s   413_533 ms/s, whereas Aaron has reported  4_739_336
bc/s  386_492 ms/s on an iPaq under PocketPC.

A better benchmark would undoubtably be the one Ian suggested:

     Smalltalk garbageCollect.
     Time millisecondsToRun:
         [((CCodeGenerator new initialize
             addClass: Interpreter;
             prepareMethods;
             doInlining: true)
                 cCodeForMethod: #interpret)]

I'll try collecting numbers on my VM on Zaurus to compare.

Cheers,

   Tommy
