I've seen it!  A friend picked one up a few days ago, and ran a benchmark
he was particularily interested in: Spice.  The approximate times
to spice the same things (using the microsoft fortran, I believe) were

VAX 11/750 w FPA	~30 seconds
IBM PC/AT w 287 FP	~2 minutes
IBM PC/XT w 87 FP	~6.5 minutes

I have no idea what he was spicing, your mileage may vary.
