I am still awaiting Alan Karp's release on Montry's paper (which Gary informs
me will be published by SIAM).  There is an important clarification which
I want to make and that is Gary's results DO meet the Karp challenge
with same-scale problems.  Don't get the impression that speed-up was
achieved by scaling the problem.  The SIAM paper will have same-scale as well as
differing scale problems.  My note in no way condemns the Sandia work.
There is lots of supercomputing marketing hype, but THIS work is valid.
