Nothing unusual by today standards... Dual CPU 500Mhz computer. The only "hard" requirement is >=1Gb RAM. And of course dosk space to save uncompressed TB after it's generated. Time to generate one TB depend on a lot of factors: TB size (KxyKzz is 4 times larger than KxxKxx; 8 times, if it's 16-bit table), percentage of draws (the higher is it, the more work had to be done on each iteration), # of iterations (now it's equal max DTM+1). So, all KxxKxx were generated in 1-2 days. Average KxxKyz needs a week or so (my estimate). "Record" TB (KRNKNN, KRBKNN) will need ~2 weeks. And of course now I am trying to generate "record" TBs. Currently generator will run only if compiled by 32-bit compiler, as I had no time to clean it up to make it independent of sizeof (unsigned int). It's not possible to generate large TBs under 32-bit Unix (e.g. Linux) because of the 2Gb file limitation those dumb operating systems have. And we had no time to fix DATACOMP, so it still cannot handle very large files. So, for now maximum that can be done with current code base is pawnless KxxKyz, and largest TBs have to be produced on the machine running "real" OS - i.e. Windows NT :-).
