"As a result of doing MPE to HP-UX performance comparisons it has recently
been determined that the "110MHz" numbers appear to have been made up by HP
marketing, and that these boxes actually only allow you to use about 55MHz
out of the 440MHz available, so the "good news" is that your "110MHz"
A-class MPE system will actually become about *eight* times faster in CPU
speed when turned into an uncrippled HP-UX system."

I have been looking for, and not finding, any MPE to HP-UX performance comparisons.  I apologize if you mentioned in another message where they can be found, but can you repeat it here, please?  And can you provide some specifics about how the comparisons were done?  I.E., were you comparing the same application on both?  Was it batch and interactive?

Thank-you.
