some benchmark results

I found an interesting program today and took it for a spin. I'm sure
someone smarter than me can decipher this and get more out of it.
It's called PerformanceTest v5.0 (build 1017) and it does benchmarks
on lots of different things. I didn't look into what, if any of this
stuff depends on Win32. For all I know it's written in assembly. A
quick look at the results seems to point at lots of Win32 stuff. You
can download it from:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Benchmarks/PerformanceTest.shtml
The installer runs fine under Wine.
I wasn't able to run all the tests, but here's what I got results for
on Wine (Fedora Core 3) and WinXP on the same hardware:
CPU (nothing too interesting here):
Windows Wine
Integer math 201.5 209 MOps/sec
Floating point 210.9 210.4 MOps/sec
MMX 177.1 178.4 Million matrices/sec
SSE/3DNow 132.6 136.8 Million matrices/sec
Compression 1548.0 1634.8 KBytes/sec
Encryption 7.2 7.0 MBytes/sec
Image rotation 138.8 139.9 rotations/sec
Random string sorting 362.2 355.8 thousand strings/sec
CPU Mark 321.2 328.5 "composite score"
-----------
2D (interesting, but probably not news)
Windows Wine
Lines 75.8 39.5 thousand lines/sec
Filled rectangles 39.2 19.1 thousand images/sec
Unfilled shapes 26.1 8.7 thousand shapes/sec
Fonts (won't run, RichEdit20 problem, native not tried)
GUI 124.3 22.4 ops/second
-----------
3D (won't run to completion on Wine, I believe it's DX7-based)
Simple 65.2
Medium 97.8
Complex 37.1
-----------
Memory (interesting)
Windows Wine
Allocate small block 676.5 248.8 MBytes/sec
Read cached 1124.4 1132.6 MBytes/sec
Read uncached 912.7 965.4 MBytes/sec
Write 474.3 446.5 MBytes/sec
Memory Mark 310.8 274.9 "composite score"
-----------
Disk
Windows Wine
Sequential read 19.9 18.1 MBytes/sec
Sequential write 12.5 14.4 MBytes/sec
Random seek 2.2 3.2 MBytes/sec
Disk Mark 91.3 94.1 "composite score"
-----------
CD
Read 1.1 1.2 MBytes/sec
CD Mark 54.3 58.5 "composite score"
I'm very impressed the 2D GUI runs through to completion. If you just
run one test, give that a try.
The system is a Celeron 2.2GHz laptop, SiS chipset for graphics, 256MB
RAM. Total "Passmark" rating on XP was 185.8.
Anything stand out to anyone? Anyone have any insights into the results?
As far as an intepretation goes, seems fairly obvious to me and about
what you'd expect.. apps with heavy CPU are comparable to Windows, 2D
and 3D apps will suffer a big performance hit, and apps requiring
heavy IO (memory, disk) might even get a small performance boost under
Wine (because of Linux?)
