I had previously assumed that CPU speed and CPW rating were closely related.
Apparently I was mistaken.  Midrange Computing recently published charts
that would suggest otherwise.  For example, the model 170-2160 has a 100 Mhz
Apache processor and a CPW rating of 114, while the model 170-2290 has a 200
Mhz Northstar processor and a CPW rating of only 73.  Can anyone explain
this?  Is there a governor on the 170-2290 that causes it to handle less
work than the 170-2160?

Thanks,

Nathan.
