The speed factor is VUPS (Vax Unit of Performance) which is almost
like MIPS.
For such low mips values you can compare it to SPECint95 by dividing
it with 50. (It all ends up as rounding errors anyway. :-)

So for the 4000/60 thats about 0.2-0.3 SPECint95 and for the 4000/90
about 0.6-0.7 SPECint95.
