interesting benchmarks - T42

[ddutta]

I benchmarked a T42 1.6 2379R1U and a T42 1.8 2373M3U with some simple math code. The 1.6 was a couple of seconds faster!!! Both had a 1GB or more RAM with minimal components running in the background. The 1.8 has a 7200rpm drive

To replicate the benchmarks use either octave (open source) or matlab

x=rand(2000,2000)
tic, y=svd(x); toc

The 1st line initalizes a random matrix of 2000x2000 and the 2nd line does a CPU intensive operation.

Anyone wants to take a shot with this on his/her T43.

use x=rand(2000,2000); instead ... add the semicolon please!
