As my former Sun Microsystems colleague Eric Schrock (nickname Schrock) wrote in November 2004 : "On i386, you at least had the advantage of increasing the number of usable registers by 20%.

One benchmark I wrote measured the L2 cache latency.

Another big jump, but now it was my job to run benchmarks in the lab, and write white papers that explained the new products to the world, as they were launched. I was mostly coding in C, tuning FORTRAN, and when I needed to do a lot of data analysis of benchmark results used the S-PLUS statistics language, that is the predecessor to R.
