oh boy, maybe I can climb back up the ranks a bit having long since slipped
off the first 100...   I just brought online a pair of identical Intel
servers, each a 2GB dual p4/xeon 2.8Ghz linux 2.4.18 system...  running
latest non-beta mprime from the downloads page ...

I have disabled hyperthreading on these two servers, so they each look like
2 CPUs rather than 4.  Looks like each CPU thinks it can complete a
18,600,000 sized assignment in 10 days.

one minor mprime question... the readme implied that if I specified
`mprime -b2` it would spawn two copies, but it only seemed to spawn one... I
had to run `mprime -b` and `mprime -b2` to get both CPUs 100% busy (after
manually setting up primenet by using `mprime -m` and `mprime -m -a1` ...

another minor question...  Is there any way to force CPU affinity, or does
mprime do that automatically?
