Has anyone benchmarked the floating point speed on the NeXT.  It
comes with a 68881 or 68882, doesn't it, so unless it is crippled
in some way it shouldn't be too bad.

I ask because an aquaintence says that the NeXT is not known for
its floating point speed, which implies that it is slower than it
should be, assuming that we know it isn't a Cray.
