Actually, if I recall correctly, the VAX 3100, 3300 and 3400 incorporate
a slightly slower version of DEC's CMOS VAX chipset that is rated at 2.4
VUPs (versus 2.7 for the 3200/3500/3600/62x0).  Thus, your 3200 numbers
timings should be divided by 0.89.  That makes integer stuff slightly
slower than the 3/80, but FP calculations still look significantly
faster.
