# fools speed ahead

Here is an updated table, with new Sun figures provided by 
David DiGiacomo of Sun.

 	        u+s    user   sys
 
VAX 11/780     14.7    13.6   1.1	(4.3bsd, no asm assist ifdef)
Sun-3/180	5.9	5.5   0.4	(SunOS 3.2)	
Sun-3/260	3.5	3.2   0.3	(SunOS 3.4)
Mips M/500  	3.2     2.7   0.5
Sun-4/260	2.1	1.9   0.2	(SunOS Sys4BETA2, 65 ns clock)
Mips M/800      1.9	1.7   0.2 
Cray 2		1.86	1.80  0.06
Mips M/1000	1.8	1.5   0.3	(measured w/high load ave.)

It's interesting to watch the in-progress compiler/clock/memory tuning. 
Awaiting another round in the Sun/Mips benchmark wars...
