It's pretty hard to tell how you could document that without knowing what hardware you're interested in. I daresay the range of performances is quite wide, varying between 486-class systems running at 100 MHz or so to multiprocessor P4/Athlon/IA64/UltraSPARC class processors running on high end machines. -- Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?
