As an aside, I have run several MSI products under IRIX 6.2, including
InsightII and Felix95. From all I can tell, everything worked smooth.
See the relevant entries at http://www.scripps.edu/~weber/eps-2/felix_perf.html
for some performance numbers.
After playing around for several days and doing production work for just
as long, IRIX 6.2 seems to be as solid as 5.3 and just as fast or
faster.
