Here are some benchmark comparisons between the Sun SS10/41 and HP9000/735:

Dhrystone 1.1 (Yes I know 2.1 is better but the vendors use 1.1 so that's
what we use too to check their numbers):

With registers and optimization, 500000 iterations
HP9000/735	203252 Dhrystones/sec
Sun SS10	118577 Dhrystones/sec


Whetstone:

Single precision
HP9000/735	161290 KWhetstones/sec
Sun SS10	 65217 KWhetstones/sec

Double precision,with optimization,50M inst):
HP9000/730	147059 KWhetstones/sec
Sun SS10	 62500 KWhetstones/sec


Double precision, rolled
HP9000/735	36140 Kflops
Sun SS10        12875 Kflops

Double precision, unrolled
HP9000/735	34333 Kflops
Sun SS10         8240 Kflops

Time for make on a given file (GKS):
                 real           user             syst
HP9000/735	 11.00          10.23            0.47
Sun SS10         36.00          34.05            1.12
