Frightening.

As for
speed...   The Alpha's kicked series ASS running NT.   One of my Jensen's
still runs V4.0 and it cooks right along!

I reloaded several Jensens with Digital UNIX at customer sites.   They
ran rings around their previous NT installs on the same hardware.   It
wasn't 4.0, though; I seem to recall it was 3.something.

I'm not fond of 3.5/3.51.   4.0 would outperform them.
