We have a 21164-533Mhz with ncr scsi-2 and a PII-338Mhz.

a kernel compile : make dep bzImaze (vmlinux on alpha) modules modules_install
takes about 7 minutes on the PII and 6 minutes on the alpha.
While compiling the dec respons is more snappier then the intel.
If we run rc564 these are the results:

PII-338Mhz
Completed block 668EA6E2:D0000000 (268435456 keys)
00:04:46.92 - [935572.81 keys/sec]

AXP 533Mhz
Completed block 64074520:50000000 (268435456 keys)
00:09:39.51 - [463205.64 keys/sec]

I think this has to do with the way it's compiled ?
