Yep, there are three groups of us here at UC-Davis having fun with it.
We are kinda compeating with each other.  (anyone want to run with our
groups identity and help me out? ;-) )

148000 for a 200-MHz?  I'm betting 130000 on a K5-PR133 (runs at 100MHz).
A single run on a Pentium Pro 200MHz got 181k/sec.

But yes, Intel systems are beating the pants off of the others.  My group
is running on Sun (1+,5,10,20), SGI (Iris, Indigo2), HP (9000/712), 

I did a run on Thud.freebsd.org and got 45k -- that beat out many of the
"bigger" machines.  :-)  Go-o-o-o-o-o Thud!


It's a little long, but here's the output we are getting:

8.6 K   (Sun 4/260)
8.9 K   (Sparc 1+ -- 25MHz)
17 K    (Sparc 2 -- 25MHz)
32 K    (Sparc 10/30 -- 36MHz)
27 K    (Sparc 10/30 -- 36MHz)
33 K    (Sparc 10/30 -- 36MHz)
25 K    (Sparc 5 -- 70MHz)
51 K    (Sparc 5 -- 110MHz)
59 K    (Sparc 5 -- 110MHz)
40 K    (Sparc 20/50 -- 50MHz)
30 K    (Sparc 20/61 -- 60MHz)
40 K    (HP 9000/712 -- 80MHz)
14 K    (Personal DECstation 5000/25 -- 25MHz MIPS R????)
13 K    (SGI Indigo2 R4400 -- 150MHz)
74 K    (SGI Indigo2 R4400 -- 150MHz)  [MAX value]
45 K    (SGI Indy R4600 -- 100MHz)  [60k max]
66 K    (SGI Indy R4600 -- 100MHz)
21 K    (486DX/33)
45 K    (486DX2/66)
45 K    (486DX2/66)
130 K   (AMD K5-PR133 -- 100MHz)
126 K   (Pentium 133MHz)
96 K    (Pentium 133MHz)
