SuperPI calculates the number PI to 1 Million
digits in this raw number crunching benchmark. The benchmark is fairly diverse
and allows the user to change the number of digits of PI that can be calculated
from 16 Thousand to 32 Million. The benchmark, which uses 19 iterations in the
test, is set 1 Million digits.
Lower numbers denote faster calculation times
(seconds), and hence, better performance.

Super Pi only tests the raw
FPU that's why the P4's do poorly. I ran the benchmark a few times over but
always got the same result of 76 seconds.
The Persistence of Vision Ray Tracer (POV-Ray) is
an all round excellent package, but there are two things that particularly make
it stand out above the rest of the crowd. Firstly, it's free, and secondly, the
source is distributed so you can compile it on virtually any
platform.
Lower numbers denote faster calculation times
(seconds), and hence, better performance.

Hmm...
This one is a bit puzzling. To be honest I'm
not really sure why the P4 2.4B performs so poorly here.
