Hi Anderson

I think that now I understand your question because I have tried to
simulate the "hello" test program (that comes with GEM5) using gem5.opt for
the first time at FS Alpha and FS x86, and the surprising results are:

Architecture      Simulation Time(*)
----------------------------------------------
   ARM 4 CPUs         66m50.399s
 ALPHA 1 CPU        >749m39.720s (unfinished)
   X86 1 CPU        >675m49.498s (unfinished)
----------------------------------------------

(*) All tests running "alone" at same [Intel i7 Extreme]@[3.33GHz+16GB RAM]
machine.

It is really a strange FS behavior and I don't know how to explain that.
Maybe the disk images (provided by GEM5 download page) are not lightweight
enough to provide a good comparison between simulation time for these
architectures running at FS mode. But I'm not sure if it could be the main
reason.

Regards

Romulo
