Mr. Sclafani is quite right - I overlooked the section toward the back of the document which he quotes. My apologies for mistakenly claiming that the "DECstation 3100 Performance Summary" contains no caveats regarding Dhrystone. Nonetheless, it is a bit curious that such a flawed benchmark (the results of which are described in the section I missed as "difficult to fairly compare amongst differing computing architectures") is used as the basis of a price/performance comparison.
