Any opinions or insights into which would be faster as a
single-user Unix machine? The ubiquitous Norton SI seems useless for
this type of comparison.
- 20 MHz 80386, 100 ns memory, AMI write-through cache.
- 25 MHz 80386, 70 ns memory, no cache (not sure if it's
interleaved or page mode, though).
Thanks!

Probably like GREs and SATs - useful only for measuring itself. -- Jon Leech (leech@cs.unc.edu) __@/ ``It seemed to him that in addition to being beautiful she brought out all that was best in him of intellect and soul.
