I managed to get down to the Computer Cache in Quincy, Mass today and
run some benchmark programs on a Turbo16 demo system they had there.
These are the results we got running identical code on 3 different
systems:

Benchmark         1-Meg-520st        Mega-4     Mega-4+Turbo16
---------------   -----------      ---------    ---------------
Vmips                  .66             .66          1.15
Graf                  8.84s           9.37s         7.33s
Savage                6.85s           5.71s         3.75s
Whetstone            86195           96663        140447

Vmips is a basically just a >64K version of the Sieve with 32 bit ints
throughout.  Results are normalized so that a vanilla Vax-11/780 does
1.00 vmips.  Graf is basically just a bouncing lines demo.   Savage and
Whetstone are IEEE single precision versions of the standard benchmarks
with the same names.

Graf, Savage, and Whetstone were compiled with Absoft Fortran V2.2 using
Jos Vermaseren's improved runtime library.  Vmips was compiled with Laser C.
