What HP-UX version did you use? How much memory did you have in your Sun?
(The 318 - now replaced by the much faster 340 - has only 4 MB RAM.)

I don't have Pascal myself but have tested Sun 3/2x0 C and FORTRAN77
versus HP9000/350.  C programs seem to execute more or less at the same
speed whereas FORTRAN programs on the HP are up to 3-4 times *faster*!
So your results are very odd/interesting...
