Okay, all you NeXTsters out there with C compiler, could some of
you please compile and run some of the standard benchmark programs?

Yes, I know that benchmarks are not necessarily good indicators
of performance, but on scalar, essentially single-user machines
like the NeXT they can at least put us in the right county.  For
instance, running a few samll ones on a Mac IIfx running A/UX
(dhyrystone ver. 2, savage, etc) told me that this thing was
(picture a capital s in mile high type) Slow.

Please email me the results, if I get enough response I'll
summarize the results here.

Thanks
