one thing I want to see is the relative performance of something like the BYTE UNIX benchmark on a wicked awesome late 1990s SGI workstation and a little embedded Linux based router or something with a MIPS SoC

the sgi will still poo poo all over it

little embedded things tend to have awful memory bandwidth
