After benchmarking the new 3100 with a C dhrystone program (25,000 dhrystones per second), I felt it would probably do pretty well on an application, since a VAX 8810 scored 8,333 dhrystones per second with the same C program. Imagine my surprise when the application ran only marginally faster on the 3100 (unloaded) than on the 8810! Do you think (dare say) these machines are optimized for the typical benchmarks? Stuart
