machoflops

( /mach´oh·flops/, n.)

   [pun   on  megaflops,  a  coinage  for  `millions  of  FLoating-point
   Operations  Per  Second'] Refers to artificially inflated performance
   figures often quoted by computer manufacturers. Real applications are
   lucky  to  get  half  the  quoted speed. See {Your mileage may vary},
