Subject:      benchmark results on 9121 running ESA
Comments: To: sas-l%marist.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu

Hi all...

Over the past year, various results of a BENCHMARK SAS program have
been posted, to facilitate comparison of the performance of SAS
on different platforms.

Here is an "average result" of a run of the program on an IBM 9121
running 6.07 under ESA. Pretty quick stuff, this...
