VIA C3 1GHz processor (133x7.5) on a Yakumo laptop, I didn't enable any 
power management (the kernel is the one that CPBSD comes with to install). 
Oh, yeah, this laptop has PCBSD on it, but I guess it's no change to the 
kernel etc regarding to FreeBSD 6.1
I was no doing anything with the laptop by the time of benchmarking, but KDE 
was running (and idling).
RAM is 256MB DDR266. The laptop was plugged in to the AC adapter.

hope this helps someone. Any other benchmarking is possible, but I might not 
get the time immediately to do it ;) just ask me what you want. this is a 
total test machine anyway ;)
