here are the test results for a Noname with 233MHz, 256KByte Cache,
Linux 1.3.45, gcc 2.7.0:

a06-osf1: 104.15 sec
a06-linux-dirty-sqrt: 162.75 sec
a06 (std. libm): 343.72 sec

The bigger cache of the 21066A doubles the performance. Now it's
realy interesting, how much a bigger 2nd level will help increasing
preformance.
