Here's some benchmark times for fractint 17.2
System:  486/50dx, 256K cache, 4M memory, DR-Dos 6.0
         Tseng-4000 SVGA with Local Bus

All options left at default settings, except where noted.

Mandelbrot set:     1024x768x256    1920x1440x256 (using EMS)
floating point off       6.97             51.85
floating point on        8.85             57.34

Type NYUF008 (from the fractint.par file) in 1024x768x256   1:12.99

Plasma file, 1024x768x256, seed 42
    Old method    22.19
    New method    19.34

Translate above plasma file to a 3D image using all defaults
    Landscape, surface fill interpolated:  1:33.70
    Spherical, surface fill interpolated:  1:36.84

Lypanov type, 320x200x256
    Order  0   3:16.46
           1   4:47.63
           2   6:18.65
