Part of the fun of X is how long it takes to compile. I remember

Since we're on the topic of dhrystones, and so on, under BSDI on a
Pentium/90 I tested only managed about 98,300 dhrystones/sec
(standard full opts: -O4 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer). 
Considering I get about 63,000 dhrystones on a DX2/66 running NeXTStep 3.2,
I consider this odd. Does anyone else have dhrystone results from 
gcc 2.4.5 with those opts I listed above for a Pentium/90? (Actually
any pentium would be nice).
