Here are some figure for the Blackdog:

  System                      Laptop       Blackdog
  CPU                        Pentium M     PowerPC 400 (Virtex-II Pro)
  Freq                        1.73 Ghz      384 Mhz
  Bogomips                     1598         380
  Cache                       2048 KB        ?
  Mem                          1Go          64Mo
  Kernel                       2.6.13      2.6.10
  OTP                          R10B-6      R10B-8
  ackerman(3,11)               8s            89s

I do not know what your cheap-concurrency test is doing, but if you send
it to me I can launch it for a comparison. I have been doing some
concurrency test and manage to create 10000 thousands process in 173
microseconds and message passing took in average 15 microseconds. 

Cheers,
