For Interger performance it's slightly better than

350Mhz, and for Floating Point, it's somewhere around a Pentium III
500-550Mhz. The other thing to remember is that the PA-RISC chip is
64-bit. I'm guessing the K570 also weighs a lot more than any normal
Pentium II or Pentium III system :^)
This particular rev of the PARISC is still 32 bit. The 64 bit machines
did not come until later. The performance sounds about right.
Your HSC-bus peripherals are better than your HPPB. HP had a habit of
making peripherals for the precision bus which could not run at full
speed. The 100Mb ethernet comes to mind as one.
