One of the slides for Gene Dronek's talk in Salt Lake City on
benchmarking showed that 3B2 performance was less than half as
good as a decent MC68000 system (such as Dual) running Uniplus.  
People may have missed this, as it was early Friday morning.

Does anybody who has used a 3B2 have any comments on this?  The
one I saw at the show seemed fast enough, though I didn't like
the unavailability of tape backup.
