On my dell p6-200 with natoma chipset:
Function Rate (MB/s) RMS time Min time Max time
Copy: 102.4000 0.2560 0.2500 0.2600
Scale: 102.4000 0.2550 0.2500 0.2600
Add: 112.9412 0.3440 0.3400 0.3500
Triad: 112.9412 0.3490 0.3400 0.3500
Memory bandwidth seems reasonable.
This was on a 36.6 Mb array btw (definitely not in cache).
The box was running gcc-2.7.2 and linux
