That's probably an 8MHz GS that gets 600+ Dhrystones... I think I get
660 or so on my 8MHz machine. Orca/C makes pretty inefficient code
though, especially compared to the C compilers you can find in the IBM
PC world. I wonder how many dhrystones a GS would get if someone
cheated and coded the benchmark in assembly... :)
