Too bad Sony doesn't allow direct acccess to the hardware at all. See PS3 Linux kernel overview

Some benchmark run on PS3: playstation-3-performance

Note that it doesn't make use of SPEs. Also I seriously doubt they have proper compiler for the PPE either (my understanding is that the simplified 970 core in PPE doesn't handle out of order execution well, compiler is supposed to optimize the code for it).
