Problem

Solutions: MIPS - Million Instructions Per Second: MIPS refers to the
average number of machine language instructions a computer can
perform or execute in one second. However, it can be shown that
the same computer can execute two different loops of code to
estimate MIPS, and their execution times will differ significantly.
MIPS should therefore be used only as a very general measure of
performance between different types of computers.

In order to obtain accurate performance data to similar computers,
each subsystem must be isolated, and practically speaking, this is
an almost impossible task. More realistic benchmark testing occurs
at the application level. This definition was taken from the
public domain program named PC-Glossary.
