- presumably these are all run on unix systems...

- what this data is lacking is what os is running on each intel based
- platform, and other sundry extras such as graphics, etc.
- for instance, a relatively fast unix in terminal mode on an intel
- based machine is going to be a hell of a lot faster than a NeXT
- running NeXTstep, etc.
- also, things like amount of memory make a difference, so the info
- above, while interesting, doesn't really answer the question without
- additional info
-
