Does anyone have relative performance figures for the various
transputers and the 68030/68040, 88100/88200, and i860/i960
processors?  I'm more interested in integer math, logical operations,
and memory access performance than floating point math or array
operations.

The trouble is that the instruction sets will not allow 
a meaningful comparison. What type are  you after. VAX MIP's 
comparisons are often quoted (OK, not by Inmos!!).

I'd be happy to hear of any reasonable yeardstick with which I could
compare them.  If anyone has run a task on these machines using
commonly used compilers and without substantial optimization, I'd
appreciate hearing the relative performance results.

If I had to boil my question down it'd go like this:

"Can a single transputer (any model) run my typical C application
significantly (say four or more times) faster than my 20
megaHertz 68030?"
