Heh. You wish--my VMS work was done, until recently, on a 600MHz EV56 with more cache than you can shake a stick at. The thing was a screamer. ;-P >What CPU is this benchmark on, seriously?

(AKA my iBook) My Celeron box (300MHz original no-cache celeron) clocked about four times as much wall-time. -- Dan --------------------------------------"it's like this"------------------- Dan Sugalski even samurai [EMAIL PROTECTED] have teddy bears and even teddy bears get drunk
