But that would prevent people with real-world processors from participating
at all.  I hate to think how long it would take this P200 to run the 
benchmark, for example, but even a Duron 650 would have a tough time of it,
and that's a current processor.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't
expect to break the gigahertz barrier for at least another year or two.
