For this reason, MIPS has become not a measure of instruction execution speed, but task performance speed compared to a reference. In the late 1970s, minicomputer performance was compared using VAX MIPS , where computers were measured on a task and their performance rated against the VAX-11/780 that was marketed as a 1 MIPS machine.

That would, of course, not be an useful method for comparing processor speeds. But that is not MIPS. MIPS is the average execution time of insturctions in real world applications.-- PauliKL 13:34, 14 March 2008 (UTC) Unfortunately this is not true.
