Thanks for that Malcolm.
I was trying out some speed tests tonight on a 2GHz P4 running Knoppix 3.6
(boot CD). I was kind of expecting to see better performance.
I'm using the source from
http://www.hashcash.org/source/current/hashcash-1.03/hashcash-1.03pr5.tgz
When I do 'make 386', I'm getting;
knoppix@ttyp0[hashcash-1.03]$ hashcash -s
collisions = 36800
speed: 368000 collision tests per second
On 'make x86-mmx', I get; speed: 375000 collision tests per second
'make generic' gives me the best performance at 463,000 tests per second.
Am I missing something?
