nazief@m.cs.uiuc.edu mentioned that "people at Los Alamos ran some
benchmarks on RS/6000 and compared their performances with" a few 
other machines.  Can someone on the Net please post those performace
comparison summary to the Net.  Thanks.

PS: Someone also mentioned that the RS/6000 architecture will be
    very hard to shink or go up in clock speed.  Is that true?
    And why?
