Please post them here!  I was getting ready to do some baseline
benchmarks on a couple of my machines including a HP9000/F10 running HP/UX
10.20 and a P100 running either BSD/OS 3.0 or 1.4.1.  Using a
common set of parameters could help in doing some apples-to-oranges
comparisons immediately, as well as some apples-to-apples comparisons
later.
