Well, you may have your doubts, but I have the facts.  My expert system
shell can fire rules at a rate of ~140/sec on the amiga, while only
capable of 76 rules/sec on the Mac.  The way I count, that looks
like twice as fast to me.

Heres some other machine statistics;

Vax 785 (ultrix) ~410 r/s
Vax 785 (VMS)	 ~450 r/s
hp9000		 ~335 r/s
iBmaT		 ~ 85 r/s


I guess at this point I must make the usuall disclaimer about different
machines and different compilers do not make good bed mates for bench marks!  
But, on the Amiga and the Mac both compilations where performed using the
Manx compiler.
