Is that performance/transistor on some particular scale?  I would be 
surprised if the 6809 was really higher on the list than the 6502, but it 
would depend on the benchmark.  (Difficult to imagine a benchmark that 
can cover that scale sensibly...)

I'd also be surprised if the ARM2 wasn't on the first list somewhere (the 
first, cacheless one that clocked the core according to whether the 
instruction fetch was doing a RAS or a CAS-only access.)

Cheers,
