Here are some other approximated VGR results for perspective: 120 on a 200MHz R5000 running IRIX 6.5 250 on a 500 MHz Pentium III running RedHat 7.1 550 on a dual 450 MHz UltraSPARC II running SunOS 5.8 1000 on a dual 500 MHz G4 PowerPC running Mac OS X 10.2 1500 on a dual 1.66 GHz Athlon MP 2000+ running RedHat 7.3 9000 on an 8 CPU 1.3 GHz Power4 running AIX 5.1 65000 on a 512 CPU 400 MHz R12000 Running IRIX 6.5 This appears to be a debug compilation of BRL-CAD.
