I second that.
If I install NetBSD, I install it to get NetBSD, not to get the 
latest % of performance out of a machine. If I need compute 
power, I can by a 2GHz PeeCee... But I don't need that much power.
I need / want a sane *ix environment on reliable hardware to work on.
E.g. NetBSD on a DEC 3000 can provide this. A machine of that vintage
has enough ohmts to get my work done. (Especially since it waits 99% 
of the time for my input. ;-)
