Here is a chart of compile times for several machines in our lab
for approximately 1820 lines of C source with comments:

Sun3/60   Sun4/260   Apollo DN4500   Mac IIx(8 megs)
45 s         27s         38s            3min 11s

Everex 386 Step20(4 megs)  (8 megs)    Sun386i
     2min 5s                 1min50s     57s

I wouldn't think of comparing the Mac to the higher priced workstations,
but the Everex's running ISC's Unix are significantly faster than the 
Mac.  Are we doing something wrong?  Has anyone else noticed this?
