Time to remove the question mark in the subject line. Merced doth
suck indeed, if this benchmark is to be believed.

Alpha is at the top natch. Scroll down for Merced. More than that.
More. Keep going. There it is!

Looks like a 667 MHz Merced is well under half the speed of a 667 MHz
Alpha. Heck it's half of an Athlon. This type of ratio is confirmed
by some other indicators: benchmarks that have popped up around the
'net only to be quashed by Intel, and some tests that I couldn't
possibly mention *cough*.
