: I was wondering if the new PentiumPro 200 machines would acheive good
: performance under BSDI.  The PentiumPro is a highly optimized chip and
: the 16-bit app performance is poor.  How does this impact the BSDI os ?

I just got a loaner Intel Orion with a P6-150.  I'll benchmark it over the
weekend and report back what I find.  I don't know if I have a compiler that
can take advantage of the P6 (or the P5, GCC 2.7.x notwithstanding.)
