assuming 1 operation/cycle, a 250Mhz chip will execute an operation in the time it takes light to go 4 (well, 3.93) feet according to my trusty TI-85....so a 500Mhz chip can do it in 1.96 feet. This has nothing to do with the CPU architecture, of course - it's just the clock speed that matters.
they back up the claims with actual, live footage of actual, live tests in actual, live applications. Granted they probably did a very careful job of selecting the tests, but Photoshop performance is a lot kmore realistic than a benchmark....and when the Mac takes 1 minute to the PC's 2, well, that's 2x as fast in my book.
could someone write a perl script to break in there and start deleting accounts? i bet that the script could get rid of 2 or 3 million accounts before anyone caught on...
My understanding was that "k-rad" is short for "killer-radical," a popular saying in the mid-80's. It can mean almost anything, although it's pimary use these days (AFAIK) is sarcasm.

bah. it can do 4 at a time, but each one still takes one cycle.
