	this is an excellent benchmark.  the problem data set fits into
	cache (onchip) initially, then doubles in size till
	the machine starts to page the process' data space.

	on many machines, this producees a graph of computaton vs
	memory footprint.  the graph has steps.  each step show
	the size of the on-chip cache, L2 cache, and finally main
	memory.
