This should be timed on a PA-RISC 2.0 machine, just in case.  Some of
them are really good at apparently doing things twice as fast as you'd
expect :)    

Our K460 gets twice the MIPs you'd expect ... i.e., it executes a simple 
timing loop at about 360 million instructions per second ... 
on a single CPU machine with a 180 MHz clock!
