From what I've heard Ultrix is Berkeley Unix 4.2bsd Vax 11/780 version
that has been all DEC'ed out.  We haven't received a copy yet so I
can't report what (if any) performance enhancements, system tuning
utilities or assorted kludges they may have made.  Reportedly they have
fixed many of the bugs in the Mt. Xinu buglist.
