I've had the opportunity to run the RTI INGRES for our Sun-4/280 on a
Sparcstation-1 during a demo session here on campus.  I've been promised
the machine for a day-or-two (most likely over next weekend) to actually
run a benchmark suite.  I couldn't build the pseudo-device lock manager
into the kernel as I didn't have time to get the kernel built and 
installed.  As it was (with the lock daemon), all ran well and *nicely*
quick, even with the asynchronous SCSI, internal 105 MB disks (I'd be
*very* interested to see performance with the much faster synchronous
SCSI drives).  This was all with version 5.0 (compiled under SunOS 4.0).
