     I recently upgraded from a single processor 800 MHz G4 to a dual 1.8
GHz G5.  I've seen a 3-4x speedup on my Java tests.  That's with a
non-multithreaded computation (so the second processor should be making
very little difference).  It's a fairly memory intensive task, so the G5's
much faster bus is probably helping a lot.  And it doesn't use any longs
at all, which can be much faster on a G5 than a G4.
     Anyway, you can take that as one data point.  Other programs may see 
very different effects on speed.
