Someone here just showed me the results from two PLS runs, one on a 486 and the
other on a 60Mhz Pentium.  The T-scores derived from these two sets of results
varied as much as a factor of 40!!  The wall clock time for the Pentium run was
less than 5 minutes.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 27,000 years.

On the otherhand Intel is doing things right here as to replacing a dozen
chips.
