The benchmarks I've seen show that our Mac IIci (25MHz and cache) are 50% faster than the 25MHz Compaq 386 box running similar programs. The Mac IIx was 15% faster than the Mac II. The Mac IIci is about 50% faster than the IIx, and if you add a cache card to that you can get up to 50-70% *more* above that.
