Do you have a bcache?

I just ran this thing on a 600MHz 164lx with a 2mb bcache, 4.3-RELEASE:


GCC: cc -O3 -funroll-loops -fexpensive-optimizations -fschedule-insns2 *.c -o tsc.gcc *.o -lcompat 

Nodes: 627028
Best time: 10408 ms
Nodes per second: 60244
tscp> 

Then I compiled it on an osf/1 alpha and ran it on the same box:

DECC: cc -tune ev56 -O4 -fast -ifo *.c -o tsc.deccc

Nodes: 627028
Best time: 8904 ms
Nodes per second: 70420
