Not very well per MHz, but if you measure per Watt it's a different story. Best performance per Watt until the introduction of the Pentium M (which was what killed Transmeta stone dead).
Last week I also got my hands on a marginally faster 733MHz Crusoe system (see a few pages back) - basically on a miniITX motherboard, so if there's benchmarking to be done we can compare crazy sub notebook optimalisations vs a more normal config. Nonetheless I suspect my K6-3+ will beat the pants off it (if I ever receive my SS7 motherboard that is...). Downside of my system is no HW sound chip. It's VIA AC'97, so maybe SB legacy support (haven't checked in BIOS yet), but AC'97 runs of the CPU, so even if it does work, it's going to slow down everything to the point that 533MHz Vaio might outperform it in games with sound enabled.
Also bought something today:
A DFI VG-3000 16b ISA VGA card with Oak OTI037C chip, dual DB15 and DB9 connectors, 8b ISA support, backward compatibility all the way down - EGA/CGA/Hercules/MDA. Oh, and a nearly pristine manual. Only thing missing is the driver floppy.
