Yes, sorry for the mess - this is my worksheet in the literal sense - 
everything just thrown together during the work, and english is not my 
native tongue :)

The article to be written will explain all these things and provide 
comments and interpretation of results, but for now:

* bigger is better for ALL numbers
* the machine is P3/933MHz, single SCSI drive, 1GB RAM
* google can be asked about benchmark programs details :)
