Privacy is about protection. Privace is about
not allowing people to prey on others.
Would you like an amulance driver to know your
medical record? How about your prospective boss when he goes to hire you?
Would you like to have a web site offer you
choices based upon past purchases? How about if they sell that to every spam vendor an his
brother?
Do you run your network without a firewall? Do you park your car with the keys still in it? If you trust everyone with your personal
information why then do you protect it?
Yes privacy is also a part of security.
You need privacy. You want privacy.
First off do not equate clock speed to clock
speed. Second, even the numbers I quote are
pretty much meaningless. The only TRUE
comparison would be to actualy try it.
Also there is no such thing as a P3-1000.
You meant a P6 (PIII chip, probably
Coppermine).
Being as such it has 32K of L1 cache and 256K
of L2 cache. Its SpecINT and SpecFP is
aproximatly 410 and 407 respectivly.
Opposed to this is the Ultra3 with 100K L1
cache and 2M of L2 cache. Its SpecINT and
SpecFP is 467 and 438. However do not be mislead
by these numbers. Real tests of performance
would be to put the systems side by side and
run whatever application you have to test with.

SPECint is a set of benchmarks that tell you
something about integer performance for certain
sizes of code, often with ultra-heroic compiler
tuning that sometimes doesn't happen on real
applications, some fo which includes pattern
recognition of the specific source code that
breaks real applications. SPECfp is a set of benchmarks that tell you something about floating point code of certain sizes. Lastly rember SpecINT != Integer performance and
SpecFP != floating point performance
