Thanks for doing these tests. I appreciate it very much. Since both of you |

see the same results, my machine must be messed up somewhere and I'll have |

Floating point performance seems to have improved dramatically on Linux |
14 |
since this test was released in 1995. The original source code (not |
15 |
my patched version) contains the 1995 test logs from Linux and other |
16 |
machines and the results are terrible. But other machines (like SunOS) |
17 |
aced everything. |

Linux used to flop during some portions of this test but now it gets |
