Thanks thats very interesting.
Anyone working with PIII's at a low level can tell that theres something
screwey with the cache. I wasn't aware that it was float specific and I
wasn't aware that the athlon was that much better.
If theres anyone out there with an althon and has my plugins installed I'd
be greatful if they could run some benchmarks for me (mail me for the
code).
