[geeks] Holy FAST batman!!!

[Kurt Huhn]

Okay, normally I'm not given to swooning over x86 gear, but I just saw
something really wild.

My Octane, R12k3 300Mhz, performs one Distributedfolding.com block of
5000 protein structures every 3.7 hours - a respectable speed.  I
installed it, for shits and giggles, on a relatively unused system at
work that has a single P4 Xeon 1.8Ghz - and it does one block of 5000
every 25 *minutes*.

I'm actually very fucking impressed.
