    Anyone else dedicating spare cycles (or whole machines) to this
effort?  I've got a 200-MHz Pentium cranking out just over 148000 keys
per second, which is pretty fast compared to numbers posted for
various Suns, SGI's and RS/6000's (see http://www.vex.net/~rasmus/rsa/
for our particular team effort).  Linux systems seem to be 15% to 30%
faster on similar hardware though.  :(  Does anyone have numbers for a
dual-CPU system or a fast PPro system?
