Interesting - thanks.  I can get a kernel patched and booted on a big
box easily enough.  I don't know how to run an "industry db benchmark",
and benchmarks aren't my forte.

Should I rope in one of our guys who is benchmark savvy, or are there
some instructions you can point to for running an appropriate benchmark?

Or are we just interested, first of all, in what sort of values this
cost matrix gets initialized with (and how slow it is to compute)?

I can get time on a 64-cpu with a days notice, and time on a 512-cpu
with 2 or 3 days notice.
