hm,

that's interesting numbers; the slowest machine i run NetBSD on is an
Amiga 1200 with 68040/40 and 128MByte RAM -- it does a full build (with
X11 IIRC) in 2 1/2 days. makes me wonder why the 040 is that faster than
the R3000... Spec92 were approx. 25/24 (int|fp) for the R3000/33, and
19.7/16.5 for an 68040/40.
