I was responding to the suggestion that no one should make benchmark comparisons because some OS4 users might take offense to it.
The first "X1000 vs. MorphOS systems" benchmark I ever saw showed, that X1000 was clearly faster than anything else.
After a while it was found out that for some reason, MorphOS benchmarks were done with non-altivec lame version, which definitely steered the benchmark towards X1000. Not blaming someone doing this on purpose, just pointing out that that was definitely an error worth correcting.
On the other hand, f.ex. memory benchmarks are (as expected) clearly in favour of X1000.
