   We will see.  When I finish converting the 800,000 lines of F77 code to   
   C++ in my calculation engine, I will run a timing test using my 659 +   
   100 = 759 benchmark files.  I just restarted this project after a year   
   or two of working on customers problems and demands.   
      
   I have over 100,000 lines of F77 converted to C++ now and the input   
   parser of my chemical data regression tool is fully working.   
      
   If interested, this is what we do (8 MB PDF):
