These still seem quite a bit low; here's what I get for 25MHz '386en,
Dhrystone 2.1:

25MHz, non-cached, 80ns RAM, pcc

				6576		6882

25MHz, write-back cache, 80ns RAM, pcc

				8605		8912

And for a 33MHz Compaq (64k cache?), pcc

				12019		11962


I wonder what kind of board Bob's using? And I'd certainly like to get my
grubby little paws on a '486 that works; the first one I saw (a
Micronics) wouldn't even boot UNIX, nor run DOS for more than five
minutes. It went home to Micronics.........
