1.  an 875 is a dual-core 2.2ghz processor.  This box has four of 'em.  Yes, it
is faster than last year, assuming that it works, otherwise we will back up to
the fastest single-core opterons AMD can grab for us.  We won't be any slower
than last year and may be a good bit faster.

2.  New version is somewhat better, but hasn't played on ICC for obvious
reasons.  We'll see how it does in a week...
