Hello Group:

I have a fairly easy question concerning performance.

I am currently running NetBSD "current" on a P233 system.

In an attempt to increase performance, I'm planning on
upgrading this machine to a PII-266.  

A particular 'guru' at my place of work has stated that
a PII system running NetBSD will run *slower* (if it 
runs at all) than the existing P233.  Is there any 
truth to this?  Has anyone out there tried NetBSD 
on PII system and does it work for you?

Any insights will be GREATLY appreciated.

TIA,
Steve Paul
