I would like to identify what results in me having rather low FAL

or if it's just a result of using real hardware on a remote node.
Nearly all of the real hardware that I'm aware of on HECnet is
actually very fast; significantly faster than pretty much any emulated
system. The slowest system I'm aware of on here is my PDP-11/53.
Keep in mind, on here you've got 600MHz Alphas (performance like a
2.5GHz x86 box but with better I/O) and you've got emulated VAXen
running on 700MHz ARM processors...which do you think will be faster? ;)
