benchmark 1.7 results

[Francesco Potorti`]

Hi,
  I am posting new results because I think the ranking of the Pentium
Pro running at 200 MHz is interesting enough to justify this.  The
PPro200 places itself at the first, compiled both with f2c and with
the new GNU fortran compiler g77.  Also, g77 seems to have excellent
performance: look at the incredible schur decomposition factor!

I'll be away for three weeks, so don't expect answers soon if you
write me.  You'll find the latest versions of the benchmark and of the
table of results in:
