actually the big surprise for me was walking the results and seeing
freebsd outrunning linux in so many areas on the 100 mhz boxes. I knew
that it was marginally faster in places but the margin this time (except
for ctx) was surprising. Also the aix ctx results are interesting: kind of
shows the advantage of single-address-space operating systems, as opposed
to the unix model. 

It's useful to show freebsd performance at the limit. But it's also 
useful to show it on a plain vanilla 133 mhz box without $$$ boltons. 

BTW ttcp on freebsd on 100BT interfaces (SMC) is at about 56 Mhz. These 
are neptune, i understand triton would be better.
