I have not benchmarked them on Rails yet. For non-floating point 
applications, they are about equivalent to a 233 MHz K6

As a matter of fact, I was planning to ask Zed Shaw if he had any 
standard Rails/Mongrel benchmarks he'd be willing to contribute to the 
community. Obviously it would have to be something that would actually 
run in 64 MB of RAM with a SQLite database running off a, say, 512 MB CF 
card. :)
