GL isn't a good comparison, since it relies on video hardware, not the
CPU (unless of course you are running it as software-GL).
I have a Blade100, and I don't see it as being very slow. Maybe you are
comparing the wrong things. What sort of disk does the Blade 1000 have?
Is it IDE or scsi? Disk access depends more on the disk and disk
controller, and less to do with CPU.
