I asked about the processing power of the SGI machine that was used in 1994-95. Jonathan told me that he got about 100K nodes/second, and we (back-of-the-envelope :-) figured that the ballpark Intel-based PC equivalent to that hardware is about a Pentium (I) 150 MHz. So I underestimated with single-double digit megahertz, but Pentium III 1 GHz is way off the mark too. Dave
