Hello Hans, I don't think this test can give reliable results for what we need to compare. With my processor (Intel Celeron N3350) it took 96 seconds to compile MSDN.ly
But my CPU is listed with score 287: https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/intel-celeron-n3350 ---> (1712 / 287) >From what I see, is it true that geekbench 5 is single core, but it intensively uses RAM and the test we need should not be focused on RAM. I would consider a Gzip compression test, instead. https://openbenchmarking.org/vs/Processor/Apple%20M1,Intel%20Celeron%20J3455 (note that it compares Apple M1 with Celeron J3455, which is NOT my CPU, but it should be very similar for single-core tests.) The result is 91 / 40 which is very similar to 96 seconds / 40 seconds (Jacque's test) . I don't know if this is a coincidence and please, if you all have more data, share it.
