        After being made aware of the fact that VMS returns process times
in 1/100 sec units (instead of 1/60 sec units), I reran the benchmark for this
machine:

       Dhrystone(1.1) time for 200000 passes = 41
       This machine benchmarks at 4786 dhrystones/second

        I made a "brute force" check of cpu time for the benchmark and it
agreed with the time listed above.  I have to admit this corrected result
is a bit more realistic than the 2000 or so dhrystones/sec I previously
reported.  Sorry about the mistake.
