  I hear this all the time, people who have it are not having problems
(you're only the third, though) and people who don't have it, or who
sell something else, say it's garbage. Sure does run like mad, doesn't
it?

  The nice thing is when you have a big pipeline and every process gets
it's own CPU... like "soelim foo | tbl | eqn | troff | thack | lpr" or
some such, which runs about 4x faster on MPX.
