4D/35 beats 310 on benchmarks? Any hard numbers?

Word-of-mouth benchmark results I've received suggests that 4D/35
is about 10% integer/20% f.p. FASTER than 4D/310. If this is due
to 4D/35 memory architecture, I'll take back some (not all) of the
dark thoughts I had upon learning that 4D/35 SIMMs used non-standard
architecture.
On the other hand, is it true? I've got SPEC results for 4D/320
(SPEC jobs on one CPU) but no Dongarra/Linpack stuff for either
3x0 or 35, and no SPEC stuff for 35. Does anybody know where I
can get this data?
[I realize benchmarks are generally crapola, but this information
would be helpful for some grant development. We got good feedback
from NIH for beating this issue right into the ground on recent
proposal (still pending for real $$$).]
