First of all, those 2 CPUs are vastly different.
Second, There are a hundred reasons that one box will be faster than another.
Third, your two systems couldn't be more dissimilar. So your comparison is Apples vs. Elephants! You have different memory, cache, also, it is not easy to compare AMD speeds to Pentium speeds. Although, I have found that AMD are typically faster for the SAME "rated", (ie. 500MHz 1.0GHz) speeds on the exact SAME HARDWARE.
Read this post, it may help you understand.

I write a sh script that zip and copy to tape all files that older then 2 hours.
1. The way I choose is - touch a file with "now - 2 hours", then use fine with '! -newer'
2. Do you have any other idea to do it ?

cpu_capabilities
cpu_capabilities(3alleg4) Allegro manual cpu_capabilities(3alleg4)
NAME
cpu_capabilities - Contains the capability flags of the CPU. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
extern int cpu_capabilities;
DESCRIPTION
Contains CPU flags indicating what features are available on the current CPU. The flags can be any combination of these:
CPU_ID - Indicates that the "cpuid" instruction is
available. If this is set, then all Allegro CPU
variables are 100% reliable, otherwise there
may be some mistakes.
CPU_FPU - An FPU is available.
CPU_IA64 - Running on Intel 64 bit CPU
CPU_AMD64 - Running on AMD 64 bit CPU
CPU_MMX - Intel MMX instruction set is available.
CPU_MMXPLUS - Intel MMX+ instruction set is available.
CPU_SSE - Intel SSE instruction set is available.
CPU_SSE2 - Intel SSE2 instruction set is available.
CPU_SSE3 - Intel SSE3 instruction set is available.
CPU_3DNOW - AMD 3DNow! instruction set is available.
CPU_ENH3DNOW - AMD Enhanced 3DNow! instruction set is
available.
CPU_CMOV - Pentium Pro "cmov" instruction is available.
You can check for multiple features by OR-ing the flags together. For example, to check if the CPU has an FPU and MMX instructions avail-
able, you'd do:
if ((cpu_capabilities & (CPU_FPU | CPU_MMX)) ==
(CPU_FPU | CPU_MMX)) {
printf("CPU has both an FPU and MMX instructions!
");
}
You can read this variable after you have called check_cpu() (which is automatically called by allegro_init()).
