it runs at 200mhz is what it runs at.  But for my program, a PII/200 is
1/2 the speed of a PII/400, almost exactly.  But the PII/400 is not 2x the
P6/200 because the P6's cache is exactly as fast as the PII/400's cache.

I didn't find "a xeon".  I found a *lab full*.  Crafty's the latest addition
to specint98, which gets me lots of benchmark results I can't reveal until
the chips are released.
