Sorry, I'm catching up on the list, since I was away for half of
September.  If this is still needed, I have a PIII underclocked to about
700 MHz (/proc/cpuinfo says 697.817 MHz).  With hashcash 1.12:

# hashcash -s
speed: 1238400 collision tests per second
# hashcash -s -b27
time estimate: 94 seconds (2 minutes)

(compiled with gcc 3.3.4.  It was compiled for a 486 -- since I'm the
Debian packager, I have to compile for relatively generic hardware --
but it would still be using the mmx core.)
