Thanks to the unix shell script which Thomas Demmer
<demmer AT LSTM DOT Ruhr-UNI-Bochum DOT De> proposed I now know the relevant data
of   my RS6000 system:

IBM RISC System/6000 Model  250
Hardware ID:  007699
67 MHz 601
32 KByte instruction/data cache
12.7 DP-MFLOPS
62.6 SPECint92
72.2 SPECfp92
33.9 TPP
1 Microchannel bus @80 MBytes/sec
64-bit memory bus @610 MBytes/sec
Integrated ethernet
Integrated SCSI-2

and my benchmark results were obtained on an otherwise free machine. The
same type RS600 gave me a result of 20.6 ... 
And one more data: on a DEC Alpha running Digital Unix V3.2C, the same
benchmark gives a much higher performance: 70.0.
