> Sun is better than HP for I/O.

See the MAY 1991 edition of UNIX REVIEW -  Miller Freeman publications.
It contains a report on the 9000/730CRX, with comparitive data for
the SPARCII, IBM + others. Their I/O benchmark (which isn't all that
extensive, but at least its independant) indicates performance of
the Snake is 50% better than the SPARCII. There's also comparitive
data on MIPS/FLOPS/*Stones etc....
