[Ti] Benchmarking...

[Mark Dorset]

Hi Trevor,

Thanks for that - I've done some testing, so for the benefit of anyone 
who's interested, here are the results... Both machines are running the 
same OS, etc, and the 1ghz model does has an extra 256mb of memory 
(768).. The numbers in the columns are the number of MegaFlops achieved 
for the different fractals in the Gallery menu of the Altivec Fractal 
Carbon app;


						ti800	ti1000
============================================
z^2 zoomed out			1187.9	1544.3
z^2 tendril cavern			2799.9	3595.0
z^4 zoomed out			1458.4	1823.0
z^4 four colour patchwork	2758.7	3526.3
z^4 rainbow roll			2569.3	3270.4

If it wasn't so late, I'd do some averages, etc, but I'll just say that 
it looks like the ti1000 is able to process this particular type of 
test at just over 25% faster....
