>> Apple II: 0.43 Mips
This number seems quite optimistic to me (I've found it on wikipedia). It just happens I was coding for fun in assembly language on Apple II some weeks ago and the minimum opcode length is two cpu cycles, so I'd say at best we're at 0.5 mips (the apple is 1 Mhz). And for anything useful it'd be closer to 0.25 mips).
