I don't know what benchmark you're using, but if you send it to me I
can benchmark it on my Pentium Pro 200MHz (actually overclocked to
233, so that might be cheating :-), running NetBSD 1.2. I also have a
Cyrix 6x86 P166+, and can use a Pentium 133. All are running NetBSD
1.2.

I'm not picky -- I just don't have the one you're running. :-)
The ones I've run in the past are pretty simple. I wouldn't mind
seeing some more complex benchmarks. Suggestions from anyone?

Yeah, I've had the same thing to say about my Pentium Pro ever since I
got it. For about a month, I would just mutter "Damn this thing is
fast" every time I did something intense on it (I run NT on it most of
the time). It plays a hellish game of Descent, too. :-)
