   Dave Sill sez:
   Notes: The time figure reported is "real", not "user" ...

Excuse me, but this is stupid.  Some of these machines were loaded,
and some were not, so please use "user time".  Wall time (real) is 
only meaningful if all of the load on the system is part of the 
benchmark.  That is not true for this benchmark, so your list is
invalid.

If you insist on using real time, please delete the entry that I
reported.
