While Dhrystones may not reflect all styles of computing, at least they are
deterministic.  Who knows what a MIP is? I feel that the MIP bench mark
lost all meaning when it was discovered that 1 VAX MIP = 0.5 Mythical MIPs,
and some people use machine dependant MIPs, some use VAX MIPs but only say
MIPs, Some say VAX MIPs and mean what we thought a VAX MIP was and some
say VAX MIPs and mean what a VAX MIP really is????????????????

Anyway, to the point. I while ago, I saw a posting asking for detailed
information on drystones achieved by any 32K system.  Has that list been
posted??  Who was it that was doing the collection?
