It might be 67 MhZ/601 Processor. In fact I found out that 
a pentium outperforms the 601/67 and  the RS2/57 MhZ, as long
as most of data and instruction are in the cache (And you
have the system for yourself). As soon as floating point gets 
involved, the brain-dead intel architecture hits back with
all the consequences. Another intersting thing would be 
compiling under AIX with gcc. You can find ready-to-run
binaries under
ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/aix

xlc is not exactly famous for bug-freeness and efficiency.
gcc rules ;-)
