Well technically on a VAX 6000-600 series system each CPU is capable of
32VUPS.  The six processor VAX 6000-660 is listed as pushing 150VUPS.
The VAX 7000-700 series range from 50-250VUPS (1-6 processors), the VAX
9000 systems range from 40-157VUPS (1-4 processors), and the VAX 10000-600
series range from 35-129VUPS (1-4 processors).

Some of these boxes are rather decent performers.  It'll be nice to see
them in action one of these days.
