Doesn't all this also depend on the software in question, how well it has
been optimized for a certain platform?

For example, encoding mpeg4 with mplayer's mencoder on my PC164 EV56
500MHz does ~2fps, same framerate I had with a PentiumII 333MHz (or
was it 233MHz). Duron 900 with slow SiS chipset and PC133 RAM can do
~20fps or more.
