The values were from a very comprehensive independent benchmark suite put
together by Unix user organizations in Europe.  The I/O test is the well known
standard Musbus test from Monash University, Australia.

Remember the 720 is a very old machine and is now being obsoleted by the
new 7x5 series (PA7100).

The relative performance values I gave are in good agreement with the 
published SPEC92 values:

Machine			SPECint92	SEPCfp92
------------------------------------------------
HP9000/735		81		150
Sun SS10/52		58.1		 71.4
Sun SS10/41		52.6		 64.7
Sun SS10/30		44.2		 52.9
