I don't think that this is a good model. Unfortunately, bus speed does not
have a multiplicative effect on performance. Because the bus ratio is 2:1
on all of those machines, it should have a similar effect on processing in
all of those machines. After that, the similary memory and I/O performance
(which run at their own speeds independent of bus speed) between them
narrows the gap further.
