Interesting! I ran it on my cpu server, and got some different numbers.
I imagine much of the difference is due to the wide-scsi (an NCR 53c875,
using Nigel's driver). Also, I did not set any specific block size when
I was creating the file system.

	File server
		Intel P2/233
		128 Mb RAM
		Diamond Fireport 40 PCI SCSI
		Seagate 9Gb 19171WC w/ SCA adapter
		3c509 ethernet 10BaseT
	
	Ethernet Hub 
		has smart routing, i.e., host-to-host routing
	
	CPU/Auth acting as terminal
		Intel P2/400
		256MB RAM
		3c509 ethernet 10BaseT
