I am experiencing a strange behavior of NetBSD0.9 and current
while running some benchmark programms when I use 32 megs of Memory instead of
16 , i am getting the same result or 2 to 3 times the initial time(unconsistently)
the benchmark is cpu intensive only , it uses only 1meg of memory.
my configuration is 
a 48633-dx2 isa-VLB 
ide drive 250 megs
et4000 1meg vga card
any clue about what is happening
any workaround apreciated.
