Here's another anecdotal data point.
Using the GRASS GIS program <http://www.baylor.edu/~grass/index2.html> under RH 6.2 on a AMDK6-2 400 and under Linuxppc 2000 on a G3-300 Powerbook, a very large floating point number crunch, which would have taken over six days to complete on the PC, ran in just under 23 hours on the Powerbook. The program was compiled from the same source code on both machines.
