Not actually       computing it. Though there are some people who have proposed       using Ackermann's function as some kind of benchmark, this is       unlikely to be a useful measure. Instead there are many more kinds of       benchmarks modelled (more or less) along the lines of typical       calculations 'in practice'.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
