I went back and re-tried the Dhrystone (several times). I *knew* that
2100 just didn't sound right for a 16MHZ 80386. 

Anyhow to make a long story short there seems to be some problem with 
the times() function. Changed the define to use time() and we now get:

	Dhrystone 1.1 registers		3571
	Dhrystone 1.1 noregisters	3333

Sorry for the confusion folks.

BTW the hardware used:

	Bell Technologies MPE/386 
	(a.k.a. Intel Mother board)

Unix version:

	Bell Technologies System V for the 80386

I also have Microport. When I get the multi-user upgrade and get it
installed I'll see if there is any difference. There is reported to be a
big difference if the Greenhills C compiler is used and this should be
available from Microport shortly.
