Sounds like you need a table of the following:
Platform Chip Rating NetBSD Rating Native OS Rating
pmax x mips x-y mips x-z mips
m68k a mips a-b mips a-c mips
That way you can compare what the processor should be
able to do vrs what NetBSD is able to get out of it, as well
as how well NetBSD stacks up to the native operating system
for the box.
I would personally find such a table facinating.
