 the most troublesome architecture was `i386`.  This may be because it's
 the most register-starved architecture, and hence the one with the
 kludgiest ABI.

 With my first answer sentence I wanted to express that G4 and G5 can
 handle both sorts of data MSB, as coming from earlier Motorola processors,
 and LSB, as used in the i386/x86 world. This could lead to more tests for
 PPC. Another case is that G4 is some kind of "64 bit aware" while G5 is 64
 bit. I am not sure whether Riccardo cites "64bit" correctly for his test
 results. Is his intel CPU 64 bit? If not then 64 bit tests are useless and
 would not be run, decreasing the number of tests performed. On my modern
 MacBook the number of tests is also quite low, which might indicate that
 this family of intel processors has less things to test.

 But actually I have no idea of what the tests are!
