actually that is a very wierd resault, 2.34 or whatever is just crazy, me thinks somthing hasent been set up properly (perhaps cpu scaling, perhaps theintro stuff they have clocks down when not doing anything)
note the lack of driver stuff seems he only got the led working. also uclinux is nice but i really like a mmu for several reasons, but i could be misinformed about that (mainly security reasons but perhaps there can be some sort of workaround to prevent apps snooping on each other, not that its reall required but i do like security )
i wonder if the ps3 downclocks as well, i havent double checked you figures however. perhaps it is running with debugging options and not optimised, that would really knock the performance down on some things. also compiling for an older architecture can sometimes inccur a performance hit.
i cant remeber the exact instruction however i belive that ARM processors had an intsruction that hada penelty that was not present in the earlier versions, but grain of salt without varificatoin and double checking (i mean i am remebering this from memorie wihch is "short term" at the best of times)
another thing is what does bogomips mean? well its a mesure of how many times a second you can do "nothing", its used as a calabration loop by the kernel for timing and such. perhaps in this kernel it dosent use a nop but a sleep instead and gets woken by the timer, that really seems like it would fit with the "get it to work no matter what" that people try before relasing
well that was my $10 for the discounted rate of $0.02
