Right, so this is about a Vax 6000 or so, right?

Note that the Raspberry Pi has a whole lot more I/O bandwidth than 
comparable 32-bit DEC systems, so the performance will actually be better 
than the VUPS measurement would indicate.  

Mind you, the I/O bandwidth on the vax systems was pretty pitiful and they
should never have discontinued the Decsystem-20....

But when the computer security people ask me to describe a raspberry pi,
I explain to them that it's about the performance of an old vax, except 
that it fits in your shirt pocket.
