By the way, when running dhrystone, you should do it on an empty
machine. I was running dclck13 (a clock program that displays the time
in the top right corner of the screen), and just to see how many
cycles it used, I ran dhrystone. Where I normally get 1000, I got 900.
The clock program was using 10% of the machine's power!
