For what its worth, found in the comp.unix.osf.osf1 newsgroup, 
article subject is "New Microkernel Performance ...".  We are compared
with OSF's MK6 operating system performance (though I read a paper
on microkernels vs. monolithic kernels that said the same thing
some time ago).

The relevant bit -

"The program compared performance measurements of
OSF's MK6 microkernel operating system and other
Unix systems.  Performance measurements on HP-PA
workstations show the RI's modular system is
comparable to Hewlett-Packard's HP-UX operating
system.  The research also compares performance on
the Intel 486 PC and shows the Research Institute's
system is equal to or better than commercially
available Unix systems such as Solaris 2.1, SCO
UNIX, Sys V R4.2 and Free BSD."

Is there no such thing as bad publicity ?
