or, we have miserably failed as of late in putting ever cycle we
can dream about to good use; we'd care more about the cycles
of a cpu server if we were better at using them up.

        every cycle's perfect, every cycle's great
        if one cycle's wasted, god gets quite irate

that, plus the fact that the the mhz wars are dead and
gone.
