[net.micro] 3b2 performance.

mark@umcp-cs.UUCP (06/18/84)

At a utah usenix talk by someone from AIM (of the benchmark), the
3b2 was rated at .4 of a Sun on a general benchmark mix.

And not even virtual memory.  (Well, maybe the hardware has it,
but this is system V folks).

Yes, but don't expect too much for scientific use. The 3B2 only does
about 100 FLOPS.  Switching systems don't need floating point.
