If you run 10 very intensive CPU processes on your Miata and on Pentium III 1GHz they will perform the same speed, in this case your miata = Pentium III 1GHz It depends also if hte progam you use is specint or specfp related program. I did this 10 concurrent processes test with the TSCP progam, and I got the result I told above.
