Vectorized memcpy

Some benchmarks of memcpy function on my Compaq Presario S6000NX Celeron 2.7 GHz (Linux), PowerMac G4 400 MHz (Linux) and PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz (Linux and Mac OS X):

As we can see vectorized memcpy on PowerPC G4 1.67 GHz almost twice as fast as Celeron 2.7 GHz (which is sometimes similar to speed of vectorized memcpy on PowerPC G4 400 MHz). Also we see that Mac OS X has vectorized memcpy by default. See source code of this test: files/test_g4.c (2.5K)

Some vectorization for my PowerBook G4

Some benchmarks of libfreevec-1.0.3 on my PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz under Debian 4.0 "etch". Tests were prepared by benchsuite-1.0.2 with little help from OpenOffice.org Calc. Thanks to Konstantinos Margaritis for excellent work!

Memory upgrade for my macs

Today I received package with memory upgrade for PowerBook G4 (additional 512 MB for $40), PowerMac G4 (two additional 128 MB for $12 each) and also 3 batteries ($5 each) for PowerMac G4 and iMac G3 (not yet discussed here):

Screenshot from MacOS X running on my 15" PowerBook G4:

It says "Bus Speed: 167 MHz". Is it correct? I thought it should be 333 MHz...

P.S. According to specification it's correct...
