Has anyone seen a comparison of the performance of a Xeon processor
with a straight Pentium II or III at the same (or nearly the same)
clock speed?  I'm interested in performance comparisons using
the usual chemistry applications, good cache-optimized code--
not implying there is no good cache-optimized chemistry code--or 
any other benchmark.
