The stuff I'm working on will need at least 8 and probably 16 cpus to even begin to be feasible in terms of time. The neat thing is that you can start to think of using pentiums on these problems, instead of a couple of IBM 590s, or a large SGI TFP system. FreeBSD networking helps a lot, too. Russell
