Hi David,
I guess the circle functions and ⋆/⍟ might do a better job in raising
your motivation!
If I remember correctly then in 1990 we got a speedup of 5-6 on our 32
processor machine,
which means that the break-even point is at about 6 cores.
Unfortunately my own machine has only 2 cores.

WIth the OpenMP patch I put together last night, adding two
million-element vectors went from about 45ms without OpenMP to about
32ms with OpenMP.
That's evidence that OpenMP is doing *something*, even though the
speedup is nowhere near commensurate with the number of cores (8 on
this machine).
I wasn't expecting much at this early stage. I am, however, encouraged
by the measurable result.
