OK, I will run a test sometime.

Our processors are way faster than 100 MHz, they are 700 MHz-1000 MHz. And this
is RISC and 64-bit so it is extremely fast. What I meant about SUN being crummy,
is that as 64-bit processors go, SUNs processors sucks, or at least have sucked
in the past. Maybe UltraSPARC-III doesn't.
