As @jhi posted a link to a resurrection of Henry Spencer’s UTZOO Usenet archive, I thought we might amuse ourselves and each other by looking for interesting posts and threads…
I ended up with over 2,104,828 flat text files in 56,988 folders, which was the entire copy of Henry Spencer’s Usenet archive

NS32000 Processor (1987) (30 posts) (comp.sys.nsc.32k)
This message is comming to you from an Encore Multimax
…the third party Modula-2 compiler being prepared for Encore customers reproduces itself in 25 seconds on a Multimax 320, using 4 of a possible 20 cpus. On the slower model 120 it takes 45 seconds. If source files are arranged on a 320 just right to balance the work involved, the recompile takes 9 seconds with 6 processors. This involves 12000 lines of Modula-2 and about a dozen modules
