Surely this was gnu-finger. Seriously, the third party Modula-2 compiler
being prepared for Encore customers reproduces itself in 25 seconds on a
Multimax 320, using 4 of a possible 20 cpus. On the slower model 120 it takes
45 seconds. If source files are arranged on a 320 just right to balance the
work involved, the recompile takes 9 seconds with 6 processors. This involves
12000 lines of Modula-2 and about a dozen modules.
