 Be real, man.  Do you honestly expect to get statistics of any
 meaning in three days by asking everyone on the net?  If you want
 results of any use, get up from your keyboard, go down to the
 library, and do some hard work looking for published results from
 other researchers who spent the necessary time on their projects.
 Their numbers may be a bit out of date, but at least they will
 once have had some validity.
