Look man, if all you got is that 13.00000 to prove your point, it's a pretty
thin thread to hang your argument on.  It looks like you're really reaching.

And don't worry that you can't duplicate the numbers with DIEP on some
supercomputer.  If it's not a Cray, you won't be able to anyway.

But if you ever get a quad XEON with interleaved memory, and still can't get to
1.7, then at least you're getting closer to a real argument.

Regards,
