Just to clear up a bit of confusion in the benchmarks I posted earlier.  
These benchmarks gave separate results for a run using the 80486, and
the run using the 80x87.  

People have correctly pointed out that the math coprocessor is built into the
80486, so they were confused as to why I have two figures.

The two figures represent TWO BENCHMARK PROGRAMS.  The source code
is identical, except that one uses the coprocessor for its math functions
and the other doesn't.

As for the difference in speed.  I don't explain it.  I just posted the
results of the benchmark.

Also, I think I said it was a PS/2 Model 80/486 that I benchmarked.  That was
a typo.  It should have been a PS/2 model 70/486
