Ingres runs very effectively on the Sequent Balance and especially
the Sequent Symmetry.  Ingres's fastest performaces have been
accomplished on the Balance (see the March 21 issue of
FT Systems Newsletter lists some results of the TP1 benchmarks),
and the just released Symmetry port of Ingres (Symmetry 4x over Balance)
will be much faster.
