Hmmmm....  If I remember correctly, the IBMs do better with
I/O and the Macs do better with Mathematics.  Have you
tried doing something really simple like just adding the
numbers between one and a million a thousand times?  I
believe the Macs will come out ahead of the IBMs.  But on
I/O - the Macs have more overhead which causes them to slow
down in this area.

Anyone else know more about this?
