A little toy benchmark. My Dad was using something much like this for years to check new Cray supercomputers he was going to run simulations on. I ported C code to Java because I wanted something I could walk into a store and run on some random computer they had there. Also, when I have the same code in C and Java I can get an idea for how efficient a JVM is.
now, this should take just a few seconds...
