Hi Ingo,

Here is some timing info I collected...  Would you accept the first
format (line per node) as a compromise?

(Note there will be 256 node systems w/4096 threads as well as
512 node systems w/HT disabled thus still 4096 threads.)

Btw, I think we should keep the processor summary as it does show some
useful information.  Agreed?  

(... I'll clean up the BogoMIPS line a bit:

	BogoMIPS(lpj):  MIN xxx (yyy)   AVG xxx (yyy)   MAX xxx (yyy)
...)

Thanks,
Mike
