	it would be GOOD!    jordan recently posted make work numbers for 
at 586 133MHz running stable....took about 13,000 seconds.

	on my 486dx66 asus sp3g set to write-back cache protocol, 256kB cache 
8MB  memory (yes only 8 ;(( ), ncr53c810 pci scsi, fujitsu 1606S 1GB drive 
(512kB cache)....i get 27,000 seconds.  (THANK YOU ROD!)

	so double the clock and double the processor--gets you DOUBLE the 
speed.   ONLY.   

	jordan how about some details on that 586 133MHz system.

	seems that it order for performance increase is still: disk,
memory, processor
