YES! I let the stupid sort run all thru SIGGraph... and this is the
"result" (or absense thereof). I will now kill this before it actually
completes and therebye does something usefull.
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
6981 10 R N 16154:43 worstsort
16154 minutes = 269.23 hours = 11.22 days = 0.000307134 centuries = 0.307134 mC
