Look everybody, it's very simple. 1 copy of the program takes 52
seconds. 2 copies of the same program running at the same time take
59 seconds each. 3 copies take 66 seconds, 4 take 73. Each process
runs on its own CPU, but when several of them are running each takes
a little longer because they contend for the slow main memory, even
though each process has a CPU all to itself.
