    This is a custom-built system with an Athlon 800 in an ASUS K7V motherboard,
    768 MB PC133 (7.5 ns) SDRAM. The memory bus was set to asynchronous mode,
    with a 4:3 multiplier of the CPU FSB, and memory timing at 3-2-2.

    It turns out that it is currently hard to get truly fast SDRAM in 256 MB DIMMs.

    I took the source code and recompiled it with Lahey F90 4.5, to take advantage
    of the advanced timer. I hope that's OK. Your wstream executable gave somewhat
    odd results on this win98 system.
    ================================
    ---------------------------------------------
    Double precision appears to have 16 digits of accuracy
    Assuming 8 bytes per DOUBLE PRECISION word
    ---------------------------------------------
    Array size = 2000000
    Offset = 0
    The total memory requirement is 45 MB
    You are running each test 10 times
    The *best* time for each test is used
    ----------------------------------------------------
    Your clock granularity/precision appears to be 4 microseconds
    The tests below will each take a time on the order
    of 95864 microseconds
       (= 23966 clock ticks)
    Increase the size of the arrays if this shows that
    you are not getting at least 20 clock ticks per test.
    ----------------------------------------------------
    WARNING -- The above is only a rough guideline.
    For best results, please be sure you know the
    precision of your system timer.
