      "Dhrystone Benchmark, Version 2.0.0 (Language: LISP)"

;* From:
;*     The Careful Port of DHRYSTONE Version 2.0 (Language: C)
; **************************************************************************
; *
; *  Dhrystone (C version) statistics:
; *
; *  [Comment from the first distribution, updated for version 2.
; *   Note that because of language differences, the numbers are slightly
; *   different from the Ada version.]
; *
; *  The following program contains statements of a high level programming
; *  language (here: C) in a distribution considered representative:
; *
; *    assignments                  52 (51.0 %)
; *    control statements           33 (32.4 %)
; *    procedure, function calls    17 (16.7 %)
; *
; *    This mix is present in the Dhrystone Benchmark, No Floating Point
; *    and lots of simulated I/O.

I will leave the conversion to MIPS as an exercise for the reader, pick a
vendor you trust :-) take their MIPS rating, find them in the chart and
extrapolate to whatever machine you are interested in.  Just remember,
benchmarks and MIPS ratings are among the world's biggest lies.  
(Watch out for LISP implementations on NON-LISPMs....)

Hope this helps,

Darel.
