[comp.sys.next] Benchmarking NeXTs?

NeXT has received a lot of praise in the press for intelligently designing 
a high-performance machine with multiple "channels" and a nice, fast
M68030 central processor.  

Now, I realize that high performance is not the NeXT machine's primary
contribution to the industry, and I feel a bit like a heretic asking
this, but has anyone actually run any benchmarks on this machine
(vs., for instance, IBM 80386's, Suns, VaxStations, etc.)?
I know that this is a little like asking Queen Elizabeth her age
and weight, but *inquiring minds want to know* !
