How does the speed of StrongARM compare to the speed of MIPS, IPC-wise?

I used to have a NEC MobilePro 790 that I really liked and I was 
wondering how the speed of the 206MHz StrongARM in the Jornada compares 
with the 168MHz VR4121 in the MobilePro?

I am aware that the MobilePro had a larger screen.

Peace...  Sridhar
