Remind me to re-run this on my G5 using a version compiled with GCC4, if possible. I've found with other programs that GCC4 makes a huge difference to the G5, though much less on G3/G4. My G5 (thanks IBM) has two 2.3GHz CPUs, so should easily beat the A64 again.


I just completed a 40-bit test using old 1.08 binaries. A 40-bit stamp was successfully minted in under 7.5 hours (about half of expected), using both CPUs of my 2.3GHz G5.

Now who said Macs were slow?
