From UNIX Review, Issue #2, p. 94, under the heading
"Newer rumours":

"The Cray 1, world's fastest computer, is running on UNIX at Bell Labs
in Murray Hill on a high-speed network that uses VAX-11/780's as front
ends. One source tell me that the Cray is so fast you can send a program
to the Cray over the network and have it compiled in less time than
it takes to *retrieve the compiler from disk* on the VAX."

Wow. Is this true?
