Any p9 x86 users out there do a lot of floating point stuff?
I'm thinking of tinkering a bit more with 8c and 8l.
I can think of a few candidate benchmarks, like ghostscript,
but i don't want to recompile it all the time!
Shortish, sensible, benchmarks would be a appreciated.
(Or comments on any of the benchmarks floating around
the web.)
