Read a performance comparison a few months ago in LJ.  The author, with
many disclaimers, showed the same code on a Sun E250 running about 1/2
as fast as a Pentium 800.  Similar amounts of RAM and Hard Drives.

With that "benchmark" all you need to do is equate a Sun Ultra 30 to an
E250.  In my experience, and E250 or an E450 would make a good desktop
machine
