From the HP Apollo 9000 Series 700 Performance Brief, dated January of 1992:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some "representative numbers" for some of the specific tests in the
X11perf 1.2 suite.

I could not fit the HP730/750 TVRX-T4 configuration on the screen. The numbers
are considerably lower for this graphics option: reading down the column, they
would be 659000; 54900; 92100; 58100; and 2460.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All systems(*) tested were configured with 16 MB of memory.  The HP
systems used a single 420 MB SCSI disk; graphics transport was through
shared memory.  The DEC 5000/200 PXGT used two RZ55 332 MB external
disks via TurboChannel; graphics transport was through shared memory.
The IBM RS600/320e used a 400 MB "direct connect internal" disk and a
320MB internal SCSI disk.  The Sun SS2 GX used a 208 MB internal SCSI disk.
The IBM and Sun graphics transports were through UN*X Domain sockets.

(*)  The IBM was alone in having 32 MB of main memory.

The Sun ran SunOS 4.0.1; the IBM ran AIX; the DEC ran Ultrix 4.1; the HPs all
ran HP-UX 8.07.
