  You are right. Here are the revised numbers.
  Once again 25Mhz 386, pcc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Without reg
Dhrystones/sec:               5400             5400            141.14

Dhrystone 2 using register variables
Dhrystones/sec:               5709             5709            176.04


  And 25Mhz 486

Dhrystone 2 without register variables
Dhrystones/sec:              30619            30615         239149.07

Dhrystone 2 using register variables
Dhrystones/sec:              31922            31919         271004.16

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 I looked at the other parts of the benchmark which did not use HZ as a 
reference for times.
