On a SPARCstation 2 running Solaris 2.2

/bin/time nroff -man /usr/man/man1/csh.1 > /dev/null

real 5.8
user 5.0
sys 0.1

Interestingly on a SPARCclassic running Solaris 2.2

/bin/time nroff -man /usr/man/man1/csh.1 > /dev/null

real 7.0
user 6.5
sys 0.2

So a classic would appear to be slower than an SS2 - at least on this benchmark.
It also appears that Solaris 2.2 is also faster than 4.1.x - now thats a turn up
for the books.
