My memory of FPU speed was a bit rusty. The PII is only about 15% faster than a Pentium at the same speed, not 3x, so I was off by about 3x. I could still still a 6x performance boost, which would sure help. I did tell Carl Cook that he should support multi-cpu systems though. This task is clearly divisible and should scale well. A master task could generate the next generation then spawn sub-tasks of evaluating specific models. That way with a dual Celeron system you could outperform a XEON, and a 16-way XEON could do some serious crunching when they become available, but would cost BIG bucks. Still it's fun to imagine a generation every 10 seconds or so. Carl
