Well, it may run faster on Mark's SS1+, but when I just tried it, it sure
ran a *lot* faster on a 2 (5.5u) than a 1+ (59.8u).

Those are time for the program exactly as he posted it, compiled with the
standard cc, also just as he posted.

However, Mark does seem to be onto something.  Compiling the program in a
variety of ways, I did get an enormous range of run times on both
machines.
