Couldn't resist sticking my oar in:

On a SPARCstation 2 upgraded with SPARC Power uP (4.1.1):

/bin/time nroff -man /usr/man/man1/csh.1 > /dev/null
real 4.6
user 4.4
sys 0.1

I get a time for a SPARCstation 2 (4.1.1) of:

real 8.1
user 7.8
sys 0.1

Comparing the "real" times, that's a 1.8x speedup. (If I had used
the 10.5 seconds reported above for the SPARCstation 2, I could have
claimed a 2.3x speedup, but I use my own numbers whenever possible.)
I don't have any numbers for this test under Solaris -- sorry.
