That is a very good point. Actually, I should have realized that
myself. Although my machine is a linux box, my machine is also a very
old linux box. I often ssh into other computers on my network to
steal their unused processor cycles (shh!!! don't tell anyone). My
favorite is my advisor's - he's got a very nice mac with a dual core
G5. It's very nice to be able to ssh into his computer and get an
instant 5x speed up.

p.s. I'm not actually stealing processor cycles. My advisor is well
aware that I do this :)
