## 4. Example run and results

The LBT was run on my home machine, a Pentium-class Linux box that I put together myself and that I used to write this HOWTO. Here is the LBT Report Form for this system:

    Test notes

    ==========

    Very light load. The above tests were run with some of the special
    Cyrix/IBM 6x86 features enabled with the setx86 program: fast ADS,
    fast IORT, Enable DTE, fast LOOP, fast Lin. VidMem.

    RESULTS

    ========

    Linux kernel 2.0.0 Compilation Time: 7m12s

    Whetstones: 38.169 MWIPS.

    Xbench: 97243 xStones.

    BYTE Unix Benchmarks 4.01 system INDEX: 58.43

    BYTEmark integer INDEX: 1.50

    BYTEmark memory INDEX: 2.50

    Comments

    =========

    This is a very stable system with homogeneous performance, ideal
    for home use and/or Linux development. I will report results
    with a 6x86MX processor as soon as I can get my hands on one!
