  Hi,

  I thought I'd do some poitless benchmarking, and seeing as there's all 
this interest in ByteMarks in the Acorn newsgroups at the mo, I thought 
I'd try them out in RiscBSD.

  Here are my results together with those for a 33MHz Arm610 RiscPC
(Mine's just 30MHz)

 Dunno if I can trust the FP timings. They seem too good, but
I was certainly surprised that it seems to be better than Acorn Cv5 
running in RiscOS!

(String copy is a bit slow though)
