[net.micro] Yet Another Benchmark

#!/bin/sh
# This short, easy to enter benchmark was suggested by some NSC
# chip set fans as an alternative to siev.c (which penalized
# deeply pipelined machines).  When I ran 2 ^ 4096 on the first
# NSC 32k machines, the times were rather bad, but not today!
# Notice that the 32k based machines are the only micros to
# approach the speed of the 286 without sacrificing the large
# linear addressing space needed for the newer applications.
# (The MicroVax II at $19+k doesn't quite count as a micro.)
