You must be joking. Try "ls -l" on a large directory, and take a long
coffee break on Eunice (of course, this isn't nearly as bad as it was
under Eunice 3.x with lots of hashnamed files in the directory). Or try
doing a task with lots of forks and execs. It takes VMS tens or even
hundreds of times as long as Unix to read a directory or create a new
process.
If you're talking about number-crunching though, the time should be
exactly the same as for 4.1bsd, since the same C compiler (essentially) is
used and you're running the same machine instructions.

Since news 2.11 will run on Eunice, maybe that will increase this group's
traffic a bit (Chip Rosenthal at Intel got 2.10.2 news to run on Eunice v3.2,
but his code was never widely distributed).
