I have never really found this sort of comparison useful. Sure, if the
Pentium II could be used ~exclusively for sound generation, it might
well prove ~very fast, but in all instances I am likely to encounter, it
is saddled with running Windows95, NT,  or whatever, and managing a huge
and demanding display subsystem. The SHARC card has, I trust, minimal
operating-system overhead, and can just get on with it.
