Can anyone suggest any benchmark programs for CP/M computers,
such as Dhrystone, or something like the Norton "SI" program?

I guess the problem with Dhrystone is that it is really a
compiler/machine benchmark, and there is no standard C compiler
for CP/M.

To get things rolling:  My Z280 system and the Code Works Q/C Compiler,
modified to generate Z280 code, give just about 500 Dhrystones/second.
