Not wanting to be left out.  Here are my results, loading perl
100 times and /bin/sh once.

In order below, SGI chalange server 6 CPU and 256Meg ram, three
486DX2/66 each with 32M ram. SCO 3.2 on one the others running
BSD/OS 1.1 and 2.0 respectively.  The SCO box is consistantly half
the speed of the BSDI boxes.  But on average SCO loads in about 80uSec
once it has been cashed.  Pretty much identical with Robert's results.
