I know that this is a bad thing to ask on an ostensibly UN*X network, but has
anyone in netland run the Dhrystone benchmarks on a PRIME 550? If so, I would
be VERY interested in the results - I have been led to believe that the PRIME
is about as powerful as a VAX 785 and I would like a definitive answer.

Other comments about the  nature of the  performance of the system would also
be a very helpful pointer in the absence of hard-and-fast benchmarks.

I would really  appreciate it if anyone has any  helpful stuff, if they would
email it to me. (Love UN*X, hate PRIMOS flames to /dev/null please)

Thanks in advance
