[rec.humor.funny] Speed of a computer

davidsen@crdos1.crd.ge.com (04/23/91)

  A new benchmark has been released which accurately measures the speed
of any computer. The computer is pushed off the top of a building, and
speed calculated by multiplying by 32.2 fps squared.

  The MIPS (Meaningless Index of Plumeting Speed) rating is the raw
value times the number of CPUs. This is called the FhallingStone
benchmark.


Thanks for the original idea to:
