Well, add in:

real 1m20.412s user 1m1.580s sys 0m2.100s for this somewhat creaky 600MHz G3 iBook...

I've been looking at user times only, but on that box the discrepancy between user and real time is enormous!

It also suggests that a 600 MHz G3 and a 650 P3 are pretty close, and contrary to what Apple seems to claim, the G3's MHz rating isn't worth much more than a P3's MHz rating.

Could you run pystone too?

python -c 'from test.pystone import main; main(); main(); main()'

and then report the smallest pystones/second value.
