LINPACK should be seen as a much better benchmark of floating point
performance of a system (although, it is still not very good 8-).  A GOOD
indicator is a SPECmark.  LINPACK provides a better instruction mix
and actually does something.  Remember, always take benchmark results
with a grain of salt.  Many things contribute to the overall performance
of a system.
