   I agree, the only reliable way to bench mark machines is to take
real programs and run them on different machines.
   I bet if someone changed the Dhrystone test so that it used ALL
reals instead of integers, it would run faster on the CRAY, than
the integer version on the CRAY.
   Could someone send me a copy of the Dhrystone test, if it isn't
too big?
         Thanks
