We have recently acquired a SIMULA-67 compiler for our VAX-750.
I would like to hear from people who have experience using DEMOS
(by Graham Birtwistle) with and without a Floating Point Assist
on a VAX-750.  How much performance gain do they typically 
observe by use of a FPA?
(I know mileage may differ.)
