Very Computer

1. increase mem -> increase cpu performance ?

Hi,
  I was playing with a few HP Vectra DX2/66 machines at work and noticed
that one ran ufc-crypt slightly faster than the other.  After fiddling I
figured out that the only difference was the size of the main memory.

Both machines are identical in hardware except the size of the main
memory - one has 8Mb and the other 16Mb
output from the machine with the 8 Mb was something like:

#/speedf
Running UFC-crypt for 10 seconds of virtual time ...
Did 699.400000 fcrypt()s per second.

and the 16Mb machine
had 790..... fcrypt()s per second.

Neither of these machines had 2nd level cache and when I removed one 8M
SIM the results became identical.  I was running linux off the install
floppies and these machines are identical in every other way.

Can anyone explain this ????
