I've seen it! A friend picked one up a few days ago, and ran a benchmark
he was particularily interested in: Spice. The approximate times
to spice the same things (using the microsoft fortran, I believe) were
VAX 11/750 w FPA ~30 seconds
IBM PC/AT w 287 FP ~2 minutes
IBM PC/XT w 87 FP ~6.5 minutes
I have no idea what he was spicing, your mileage may vary.

Four times as long as a 750. Now what happens if you were to put 2 users on it.
I bet it would gag, I have seen a 750 running spice and was not overly impressed
by its speed. As Peter Honeyman said, "Its a little light on cycles".
