where am I supposed to see that?

I looked at bonnie - there are only old numbers
in the Documentation file against which my machine
looked fast, but I do not have a comparison
against other machines of the same size.

Are there any newer? What benchmarks do you think representative?

desaster is an ASUS TP4XE with P90 and PS2 SIMM 16M RAM,
DPT SCSI Controller PM2024/A with Seagate ST31200N 1G SCSI
running Linux 1.3.22. Bonnie was compiled with -O2 and nothing else.

The benchmarks where taken on a relatively quiet time, with only one
person on the terminal using irc/telnet/pine.
