When will there be another net.survey on Dhrystone ratings? It's been a long time (over a year) since these were last published. I saved a copy of the 2.0 ratings and gave it to at least 10 other people who needed the information. It's the most interesting benchmark I know of. Since the old ratings, 4 new macintoshes have been introduced, '486 PCs have come out, BSD4.3 is in wide distribution, the R6000 is out, the NeXT machine was released, Microsoft C 5.0 is out, several other compilers have improved, and C++ has become very popular.
