I'd be interested in seeing those benchmarks.
What benching utilities will you be using?

Have you done any real benchmarks?
Nubus slots up to the 840av are 32bit 10Mhz for 40MB/sec bandwidth, Nubus 2
on the 840av and the PPC nubus machines should be double that. So from those
numbers the bus should not be a bottleneck (PCI bus is limited to
132Mb/sec). If your using old 200MB scsi hardware I could see the HD being a
bottleneck.
I can test a G3 upgraded 8500 to a 604 120 7500 system (both with ATA DMA/66
cards and IDE drives) for speed, then try the 8500 to the 10/100 in my 840AV
(has a 68pin 4gb 7200RPM HD running on a SE IV card). This would show if the
10/100 Nubus card can at least keep up with the PCI machines at 10Mbs. A CD
image file would work for a timed transfer.
Not sure when I can get around to testing, might be today.
