The drystone 2.1 figures I posted earlier for the Sun 3, the NeXT, and 
the Vax were run in multiuser mode. These machines are NFS'ed together.
The tests on the RT 6150 Model 25 and Mac II A/UX were run in multiuser
mode, but without NFS. When I ran the tests, the Mac had two users, the Vax
had nine users, and the Sun 3 had about five users. I was the only user on
the RT and the NeXT.

The figure I got on the Next 1.0 machine (~5900 drystones )matches the
figure that was posted in the March, 1990 Byte article on Unix Benchmarks.

Does anybody know where I can ftp the latest Byte benchmarks?
