IIRC the foundation originally compared the RPi's CPU to a Pentium II running at 266 MHz, which seems about right to me. IME/IMB startup is almost always CPU bound (to a single CPU thread, of course). Note that the Linux kernel also caches negative dent lookups, so these "is there something here?" stat()s will stay in the dentry cache.
