    Is this a misprint, or has Bell set a new record for worst 80386
Dhrystone performance? This is a really pitiful number. If the
compiler quality in general is this bad, it seems like (much) better
price/performance could be obtained by buying an AT clone and getting
a 80286 Unix with decent compilers for it.
