Mainframe stuff... - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

...
   There are some
inaccuracies, though.  For instance, the /90 and /90A
 are shown to have the same TPS, but the /90A is faster.  The numbers
 for the /90 and /90A are also wrong as far as I can tell (the numbers
 more closely match what I first posted rather than what I determined
 experimentally). 
 One remark here. The TPS numbers not always seem to be "logical". Please
 notice,
 that a lot of the benchmark is influenced by the I/o & disk system. So a
 faster CPU not always
 has a better TPS number. You can see it many times if you really look
 into it. 
That's true, but the /90A has quite a bit more cache, which should
influence the TPS rating.
...
  And, the 4000/90 & /90a are workstations. So TPS
is not of so much value
 to this ...
  There's also a lot of holes in the list.

 So fill them ;-) 
I was planning on doing that in the next few days.  Standardizing will
take a bit of work, though.
