His cpu runs the crafty benchmark at a slightly faster NPS than my quad
xeon.  Partly due to GCC vs MSVC of course.  But then factoring in the 25%
loss I get due to SMP overhead, his machine is a good bit faster.  My comment
was that we already have 1ghz athlons running, so a 1.1 ghz chip won't be a
huge quantum leap of any kind.
