About a week ago a post came in from Austrailia and it said tests had been
done on an Amiga3000UX with 8 megs and the 100 meg drive and that the results
were terrible.  He said some old NEC(?) with a 68020 over powered it.

I've been waiting for a reply to this.  Has anyone else run any speed tests?
What speeds are important in a unix workstation?  Is the UX going to be a
reletively slow workstation?  I'm obviously not a CS person.  But I would like
to know for my own need and because I've nearly talked a large organization
which I won't name into giving the AmigaUX a try.
