fiftyp.c seems to have been stumbled across by accident as having an effect 
when Xenofon was trying to recreate Mike's 50% x 3 test case. I suggest a ten 
percent version like the following would be more useful as a test for the 
harmful effect discovered in fiftyp.c. (/me throws in obligatory code style 
change).

Starts 15 processes that sleep ten times longer than they run. Change forks to 
15 times the number of cpus you have and it should work on any size hardware.
