Those benchmarks are very strange - why does the worst-specced Mac boot OS X the quickest? And mine only takes about 70 seconds to boot Tiger, and they're saying their G4 took longer than that! It looks as though the G4 is only significantly faster for specific things, like Photoshop tasks (which is presumably optimised for AltiVec) - though of course iLife '06, Toast 7+, Leopard etc have all been kicked off the G3 by their makers (mainly Apple) :'(

the Beige G3 AIO in my sig can boot tiger 10.4.10 in under 30 seconds. before i upgraded my ram to 768mb i had 448mb ram and my friend stopped by my house showing off his DA G4 466mhz with 512mb ram we booted the same time which was around 34-36 seconds. but in games he could run more a bit faster than i could but not by much.
