There has been much screaming about which chip is faster 80386 or
68020.  Recently, I received benchmark data from Neal Nelson & Associates.
This benchmark showed results from a Compaq 386. I compared this data to
the results from a Tower32

The 386 was SIGNIFICANTLY *SLOWER* than the '020 in LONG INTEGER MATH
while it was virtually *EQUAL* to the '020 in SHORT INTEGER MATH.
Don't say it was the memory because the "String Copy and Compare"
test was identical too.

So, What's the story intel? What do I have to do to make the 
386 beat the '020 Hmmmmm??? Does anyone out there have some 386 data
they care to share? Whetstones/Dhrystones perhaps?
