Here are a few interesting benchmarks on QEMU, Valgrid simulation, Bochs and native speeds on x86. Also, a new stable release, Valgrind 2.2.0, is available. 2.2.0 brings many improvements over 2.0.0, and includes the new Massif heap-profiling tool.

Look at the results of the Alpha processor. A 667 MHz Alpha runs x86 code faster than a 500 MHz P3. This might not be a surprise to some, but it was for me.
No no no... they are *native* alpha executables, and yeah the 666MHz Alpha goes about 150-300% faster than the PIII-500, but that is not at all surprising..
When emulating x86 under QEMU, you can see the alpha goes about 70-150% the speed of (ie. *roughly* equivalent to) a pentium 90.
