I just received a sales sheet from "AIM Technology" on their Portable
UNIX* Benchmark which measures "end-user throughput and multi-user
performance".  However, they want $1,250 for their benchmarks.
Not wanting to spend this money on benchmarks, has anybody out there
seen these benchmarks ?  Anybody seen the results ?  I would imagine
that the results are of great interest to the UNIX community, but
don't want to do what others have already done.  For example, I would
like to see their results on an 11/44 and an 11/730, since even though
the two cpu's are very close in terms of Whetstones, I would imagine the
11/730 would benchmark faster running 4.1bsd with the 1024 byte buffers
when compared to the 11/44 running stock V7 or System III.
