Aucbarpa.990 fa.works utcsrgv!utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!C70:ARPAVAX:hickman Mon Mar 22 19:57:44 1982 68000 unix (sun board) Just some very un-official info....We have a sun board (10Mhz) and have a bit of timing info:

"Get into vi editing /etc/termcap (~25k chars)": - 68000: 5.5 seconds (no other vi on system) - 11/70: 6.6 seconds, with other vi's around - 68000: 3.5 seconds with other vi around

Both of the 68000 times INCLUDE having to look up the terminal in termcap. Not bad....Oh yeah, the disk is a ~35Mb fujitsu with multibus SMD controller.
