Since I'm an engineer, statements like that make my hair stand up. Everyone, is it too much to ask that execution times be normalized to ... 'T' Ghz-sec? Then the rest of us could estimate execution times on our computers by dividing 'T' by our CPU clock rate.
*You are surely right, but I guess most of us have a computer with a clock around 3MGH, so the order of magnitude should not change that much.
To be as precise as possible, I have a portable PC under vista with a double core and a clock of 2.4 GHZ (32 bits registers)
The rating was run with others programs, so the overall time could be influenced by other tasks.
Anyway, the 4 hours is a rough estimate. Could be 3 (small chances), could be 5 as well.
