First of all, I would like to get some benchmark result of ST80-R4
implementations. Here are my numbers for a PC-386/33 MHz with Cache,
8MB-RAM and VGA-card (800x600, 16 colors, TSENG 4000) under Windows 3.0
with static-swapfile:

And then there're some bugs(?) I would like to mention...
a)  file-list
 Try to use the file-list utility, select a volume different to the
standard one. In the middle view you see the contents of the selected
directory. Try to make a new directory there with "make directory" and
wonderful - it's added to the view. Use another file-list to verify the
result -- the new directory is not there! The new directory was created,
but always in the directory, where st80.exe is --- grrrrrrr! The middle
view sometimes doesn't get the info from the upper view - the actual
path. How can one correct this?
b) Hierarchy Category Browser from System Full Browser (Objectkit ST)
 Start the "System Full Browser", select "spawn hierarchy" and one can
get an instance of "**Hierarchy ** Category Browser". Inside this new
browser select a method and wait for the source-code of this method  --
you won't get it, because nothing happens. By the way: it works
wonderful from the normal "System Browser". How can one correct this?
 Greetings,
	 Marten

I'm very interested in the IIci benchmark; but which cache card was used? Does anyone (hello PP) have any relative benchmarks relating various Mac's Sun's and '{3,4}86 machines?

I'm very interested in the IIci benchmark; They're just numbers to compare the performances of machine against each other. As ParcPlace wrote on page 57 in their "Advanced Programming User Guide": "The median harmonic mean of the SystemBenchmark default test suite is the standard benchmark score used by ParcPlace personnel when comparing system performance in different operating configurations." And(!!!!!): "The test suite differs from the suite used in prior releases of Objectworks \ Smalltalk, so the scores cannot be compared across versions meaningfully." SystemBenchmark is part of the Smalltalk/Objectkit package made by ParcPlace.
