The author uses results from a Sun-3/50 as the base (10,000 *stones) for each category. I tried xbench on a Sun-3/50 with 68881 & 8 megs (diskless) and only got about a 7500 Xstone rating out of it. It's no big deal for me, since I use the relative magnitudes, not the absolute numbers. It wasn't paging at all, at least as far as our Excelan LANalyzer was concerned (essentially no network traffic at all from the machine during the test). -- Skip Montanaro (montanaro@sprite.crd.ge.com)
