[ydl-gen] Benchmarks of code on G5, G5/altivec, x86, PS3/CELL

[Rob Sanders]

Hey folks,
   I was talking with Kai a couple of days ago and he recommended taking 
this question
to the YDL list, so here it is...
   Has anyone done (or know a good link for) some performance 
comparisons of the PS3/Cell
to "current" top performers in the PPC and x86 arenas?  Even something 
relatively "trivial"
such as multiplying 2 "large" arrays of floating point numbers.  
Ideally processors like
say a G5 without using altivec, a G5 with altivec, a recent Xeon or AMD 
with and without SSE[234], and
  the Cell?
   I know just enough to be considered dangerous about vector 
programming, and I'm trying (in my
"copious" spare time after family and daytime job) to boot strap myself 
on how to work the CELL....
