From: Doug Kingston <dpk at BRL-TGR.ARPA> I am familiar with the person who ran the test with a BRL 4.2BSD system on a 785. 4.2BSD gets essentially the the same speedup as VMS. Faster microcode is faster microcode, and faster logic is faster logic. Both systems benefit. The speedup is around 50%, and the same is true for VMS. -Doug-
