Well, I'm not sure that you can directly compare Accrete running on
different machines.  If you use a certain seed it would do a different
amount of calculations than if another seed was used.  I get varying
times for my 10 Mhz RocketChip enhanced //e.  In the few times I ran the
program I had one go for about 10 minutes, while another seed yielded an
execution time of over one hour!  If we used a standard seed, then
perhaps we could make reasonable comparisons.
