16k benchmarks ?

Hi,
	Does anyone have any benchmark results of C programs on a
commercially available 16000 UNIX system ? Can you mail me the results
or post them ? What do they show in relation to 68000's and VAX's ?
	The only benchmarks I've seen were done at USENIX meetings a
year or so ago on machines such as the LMC. They showed a rather
miserable performance with respect to 68000 offerings, results were
only slightly better than 8088's and LSI11/23's. Granted, the chips were
running at 6Mhz (I think).
	Yet all the ads you see seem to suggest that a 16k at 10Mhz should
be on par with 68000's at 10Mhz. So I'm looking for documentation -
benchmarks done on real 16k UNIX systems - got any ? Preferably with
C source so I can run the same benchmarks on other systems to compare.
	Thanks.
