I wish I could help you! We were in the same boat about two weeks ago,
then we started getting in about 2 completes sets of 4.0 every other
day! We now have at least 10 sets for RISC, and 3-4 sets for VAX!
I must say 4.0 seems fairly nice so far. I have installed it on
a VAXstation 3100, DECsystem 5000, 2 DECstation 5000, DECsystem 5820,
and 8 DECstation 3100's. Although the 5820 with two processors screams,
the DECstation 5000 is probably nicer if you don't need/use both cpu's
at once.
Here is a simple benchmark of compiling a String library, using AT&T's C++ 2.0
translator on various platforms. The library consisted of 36 different C++
files which were placed in a library using ar. The total size is 2600 lines.
5000 57.6u 32.6s 3:32 42% 496+627k 119+4042io 1310pf+0w
5820 119.7u 118.7s 5:36 70% 172+215k 72+4042io 1239pf+0w
6310 265.5u 81.8s 8:24 68% 237+433k 634+2953io 621pf+0w
The 6310 is still running Ultrix 3.1, and the other two are running 4.0.
