Not sure if anyone's interested, but for comparison purposes, here are the
Byte Unix benchmarks for OpenBSD 2.0 (latest snapshot release) running on
a IIci w/20Mb RAM and a Quantum Fireball 1024Mb drive.  The results are 
better than NetBSD in every category except Shell Script, which was the
same.
