That's not what I heard.  At least the word on the street is it's really slow.
Well not *REALLY* slow, but only about twice as fast as a $10,000 DEC Station
3100.  I've also heard that IBM will not let anyone disclose performance
figures for the system.  How about some dhrystones?  Seriously, are there
industry standard benchmark results available from somewhere?  How much
does a typical 3090-600 cost?  What about those DEC graphs that show price/
performance; one of those could potentially be very amusing.
