Jim, between processors of different architecture MIPS is a meaningless comparison. You apparently simply canNOT understand that 'intruction' is SO variable that the MIPS number means nothing. I'll grant you that there is ONE known in the MIPS rating… seconds; which are pretty constant (unless you subscribe to the theory that time is slowing down). By contrast MPG has BOTH elements defined 'miles' AND 'gallons'. It's really a Humpty Dumpty problem "Instuction means _exactly_ what I want it to mean, nothing more, nothing less."
