Here are some changes to get more accurate results under 4.2 and
4.3 BSD; and here is the result of running the benchmarks on our
shiny new 8600 (not yet even fully installed, but already running
4.3BSD... for the moment, at least):

 * MACHINE	MICROPROCESSOR	OPERATING	COMPILER	DHRYSTONES/SEC.
 * TYPE				SYSTEM				NO REG	REGS
 * --------------------------	------------	-----------	---------------
 * VAX 8600	-		4.3BSD		cc		7092	7153

The speed of the 8600 is quite impressive.

Oh yes, the changes.  Without these I get 7142 for both `NO REG'
and `REG', by the way.
