And by the end of '87 Eliot & I had his old BrouHaHa interpreter running on a 4MHz ARM1 at 25% Dorado and an 8MHz ARM3 at 85%.

I did actually run the old benchmarks on my Pi 3B+ a few days ago to check something and Squeak/Cog/ARM A53 @ 1.4GHz returned somewhere around 180x Dorado. TBH I think we're way past those numbers meaning very much but :-)
