One has to take I/O speed into account with such tests, however. More
often than not a sluggish response or execution time of workstations
is caused by networking delays. Comparing the performance of a
workstation that loads, executes, and even perhaps swaps over a
congested or even just normally performing network is not going to be
fair as compared with the performance of a basically non-networked
computer.
