My understanding of these numbers is that they all refer to the target
under test.
So for that specific test, the target is 9.24 times quicker than a base
Pentium 90 and 3.04 times quicker than a AMD K6.
That makes the AMD three times quicker than the Pentium 90.
But then, I might have been trying to make sense of the numbers as it is
not clear enough in the documentation.
