I didn't see the benchmarks, only the results. And I think this isn't useful for
any real program. I don't know about any program that is just thousand adds in a
loop. Even more: the results are clearly different to what you get with any
complicated benchmark, the AMD K6 and PII aren't so different as your benchmark
seems to indicate.
I think the best way is to just use some "typedef BasicType int;" compile,
meassure and then try with other type. That's assuming the operations feets in
any integer size.
Are you sure your benchmarks isn't involving type conversions? (zero and sign
extend as example) this could make ints faster no matters what's the real thing.
