Thanks to Helge, my minor porting job on the old Green Book benchmarks has been brought up to 2.8 capability.

Just FYI, my 5 year old Acorn, running a 200MHz cpu with 16Kb(count'em!) caches, 16MHz memory and no FPU compiled with a four year old compiler gets:-

whereas my brand new 600MHz pentium3 with 1Mb caches, 133MHz memory and an fpu compiled on the latest gcc gets BitBLT 1257.48502994012 TextScanning 43943.661971831 ClassOrganizer 1495.488814732419 PrintDefinition 4607.046070460704 PrintHierachy 7507.50750750751 AllCallsOn 313.7583015217277 AllImplementors 1791.62072767365 Inspect 2721.29186602871 Compiler 4188.580015026296 Decompiler 1798.404641044235 KeyboardLookAhead 3143.491124260355 KeyboardSingle 2625.2408477842 TextDisplay 734.155434470892 TextFormatting 3954.607977991747 TextEditing 2136.708860759493 Performance Rating 2600.91381625157627578 and 0 tinyBenchmarks returns 44475330 bytecodes/sec and 1458439 sends.sec
Not too bad.
