   This one has been running for few days. There were examples that   
   finished after a week or even a month. Some other eventually   
   run out of memory. Other I have interrupred after about a month.   
   Also, long running computation can mask a bug in later code.   
   Namely, first part may be so slow that nobody is patient enough   
   to see bug in following part.
