Hi All,

  I downloaded and ran the new v21a and did some timings on
several different machines and compared them to timings done
on v19 and v20...

  I ran the timings on each version for 100 screen outputs at
100 iterations per screen output...  for a total of 10000
iterations...  and then averaged the iteration times...  I
used the same exponent on all versions and machines...  (an
exponent I am primality testing that is just shy of 11,400,000)

  What I can up with was these results...

                       V19    V20    V21
                      -----  -----  -----
PII at 266Mhz         0.579  0.578  0.586
Celeron 1 at 466Mhz   0.605  0.604  0.615
Celeron 2 at 550Mhz   0.289  0.288  0.223
P3 at 733Mhz          0.239  0.238  0.188
Athlon at 1333Mhz     0.100  0.098  0.077

  Admittedly, while the 466Mhz Celeron 1 has almost double what
the iteration time was expected to be... (for some yet unknown
reason -- Prime95 is getting 98.9% of the CPU time)...  the %
increase/decrease is still evident....

  Note also that the Athlon *did* have a performance increase
on par with the Celeron 2 and P3 machines....

Eric
