With a 300MHz Cabriolet with only 512KB cache :-( I get this:
jassi:~/temp$ c4 <input
Fhourstones 1.0
options: 64-bit modulo
Solving 12-ply position after 444333377755 . . .
score = 7 (+) work = 21
3871322 pos / 18.6 sec = 208.3 Kpos/sec
store rate = 0.914
This is the same speed like a 133 Pentium.

The 21064A is not very fast in comparison with a Pentium. In
other cases (povray) the same machine is as fast as a PentiumPRO 180MHz.
