Hi folks!

I sucked down nbench and here are the results from the Swedish jury...
eh, I mean the results from my 96-unixshell:

Now, the deal with unixshell is that you are guaranteed a certain minimum based on your "units", see FAQ: http://www.unixshell.com/index.php?page=questions

All I can say is that my account has always felt very nippy and the above numbers are faster than my laptop (which is a pretty fast Pentium-M 1.5Ghz). But that may be just because I am "lucky" :).

To test youself, download:

	 ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/tux/mayer/nbench-byte-2.2.2.tar.gz

...do "make" and then "./nbench".
