Is it possible that different MacOS versions make a big difference inside
MOL ? For example the ROM is handled differently < 8.6.
Your linux kernel version and whether you are using the Motorola
mathematics library libmoto or their MacOS extension on either side will
make some difference to scientific computing benchmarks [though -lmoto
will not help MOL I would imagine].
For graphics your board, Xserver and X-modules are the calibration
information you need for the tests.
I do not recall numbers but I think I recall being closer than you
reported for processor and floating point stuff, and better for disk w/
~2.2.19, MacOS 8.6, WallstreetII, no libraries.
Good Luck,
