First off, for readability's sake, what *roff macro package is this
written for?  `tbl|ptroff -ms' got the text and headers right, but
`tbl|ptroff -me' got the table right.

What compiler was used to gather the reference Sun-3/50 data - Sun's
CC or GNU CC?  What version of GNU CC?  Under what version of the
operating system - SunOS 3.5.1 or SunOS 4.0.1?  Were the Purdue 2.1
speedups installed?

What compiler was used on the other machines measured - the (usually)
pcc-based one the vendor shipped, or GNU CC?  In the case of the color
machines, did you use Spaf's preliminary hacks to cfbmskbits.h?

These are nifty numbers; now I'd like to know what I'm looking at!
