I believe I said _both_.  If you read carefully.  We went to both
events.  1996 saw me working on performance, and again in 1997 as I
was working on an alpha port right after the 1996 event since DEC
had already agreed to give us a machine for the next tournament.

There was no "system time" involved.  Again, why not try reading
things first and _then_ responding?  I ran the tests in 1993 and early
1994.  I have said this many times.  Beyond that point, no cray access
was needed, all the data was finished.  The time after that was spent
on writing the actual paper, which is pretty long, then fiddling with
lots of changes as suggested by the referees, and going thru _several_
referee cycles.

None.  All testing was completed by june 1994.  The paper production too
the next 2.5 years...  no more testing was needed, possible, or done.

I _know_ I have written this multiple times here in CCC already.  And
you accuse _me_ of "having a horrible memory"?  At least I have _some_
memory...

I am sure you can find the 1993-1994 date several times here if you look
hard enough.
