 I ran the seven test jobs on the (real!) SGI Origin 200 (hinv output:
 FPU: MIPS R10010 Floating Point Chip Revision: 0.0
 CPU: MIPS R10000 Processor Chip Revision: 2.6
 1 180 MHZ IP27 Processor
 Main memory size: 128 Mbytes
 Instruction cache size: 32 Kbytes
 Data cache size: 32 Kbytes
 Secondary unified instruction/data cache size: 1 Mbyte ), running under
 IRIX 6.4.  The aggregate time was 833.5 sec.
 For the individual jobs  1,  28,   94,   155,   194,   296,   302,
 the job cpu times were: 4.2  11.2  36.7  149.7  52.1   528.1  51.5  sec.
