This has been fixed.  When I converted this a while back from some other
format to LaTeX, the converter turned my tables (TBL for troff/groff
users) into .gif files.  I then converted those to ASCII, and when I
copied them back into the raw document, I botched the name and copied
table 2 twice.  I fixed it this morning, and at least verified that the
other tables were not duplicated, although I did not scrutinize every number
to make sure that another accidental editing error had not occurred.  All
the speedup numbers matched my original handwritten notes for the paper, so
they are verified as correct.  I did not verify the individual position speedup
numbers nor nodes or times.  I'll look at those later today for safety...
