  Here are the results for the Byte UNIX benchmarks for RiscBSD running 
on a SA110

 Compiled with 

OPTON = -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -finline-functions 

  It might be interresting to compare this with an Arm6/7 machine.

  I have the results for my machine from about May, which show that the 
CPU intensive tasks are indeed much faster (i.e. Arithmetic and Dhrystone 
are both 10-12 times faster) but this was using NetBSD 1.1 so I don't 
know what difference kernel changes have made since then.

  The other index results have remained largely unchanged.

Ale.
