Has anyone performed the Dhrystone benchmark on the various models of Amigae?
I am interested in receiving results for the following systems:

	Amiga 1000
	Amiga 500
	Amiga 2000 - (standard 7.14 MHz 68000)
	Amiga 2500 - (14.32 MHz 68020, 68881, 2 meg 32 bit RAM,right?)
	Amiga 2000 w/GVP 25Mhz 68030/68882 + 32 bit RAM.

I'm sure the three lowend systems 500, 1000, 2000 will have the same rating,
but it would be nice to run the benchmarks anyway.  What is the meaningful
result of the Dhrystone benchmark?  Is a rating of X Dhrystones mean that the
system under test averaged X instruction executions per second?

Thank you!
