OK, I know that this has been trodden through before, but I'd like some numbers (or a number) comparing the performance of a turbo color NeXTstation (or NextDimension) with a Sun 10. I have a poor misguided faculty type person who can just about handle System 7 but who is desparate for the most powerful machine in the Universe. No amount of reasoning can persuade him that what he gains in program execution time he will definitely lose in system administration time. So what I need to know is, approximately how many Meaningless Indicators of Performance (MIPS) does the NeXT turbo generate compared with a mighty Sun 10 (or whatever)? -- Mark H Pearson Coordinator of Academic Computing Earlham College, Richmond, In 47374 regular e-mail: markp@yang.earlham.edu NeXT mail : markp@cranham.cc.earlham.edu
