OK, and we're back to creating a racket but not producing useful
numbers; how long is that crap supposed to run before it gives a number?

Surely it can produce a useful number after a few minutes of runtime..
Letting it run for hours is just a waste of time and money.

Note that I'm running this on a WSM-EP with (2*6*2) 24 CPUs and 24G of ram.
