Ultimate Boot CD has a CPU benchmark test, probably from about 10 years 
ago, since the list of typical results goes up through 1.0GHz.  The 2.4GHz 
Celeron scored about 14,000 as opposed to 7000 for a 1GHz.

I will compare how long it actually takes to run CPU intensive tasks, such 
as compiling a kernel (which may also depend on hard disk speed) or 
downloading via broadband and displaying particularly awful websites such 
as ATT pages, Yahoo, and Google Mail - any other suggestions for 
CPU-intensive pages (lots of javascript)?

Also rotating losslessly a large image file.

What else is CPU intensive that can be done in BL2?

It would also be worth comparing power consumptions, as the P4 is said to 
use twice as much power as the same speed P3.  They overlapped in speed at 
about 1.4GHz.   Then there are Socket 423 (up to 1.5GHz) vs 478 (up to at 
least 3GHz).
