I'll ask Pat Stephenson to post his benchmarks.  Please be aware that
V3.0 ISIS is much faster and more carefully tuned than V2.1.  
I would expect the V2.1 numbers to be quite a bit slower than the
V3.0 numbers we recently reported (ftp the "performance.ps.Z"
file from ftp.cs.cornell.edu for a copy of this data)

We currently have a student doing a new, very fancy performance tool.
When (if?) he has this running I will certainly make it available.
