This brings up a very interesting question, what is the average speed of a
machine participating in GIMPS? Does PrimeNet have more data then the CPU type?
I would assume so. Can we get a breakdown of the average CPU speed of a GIMPS
producer and track this over time to see if we are keeping up with Moore's law?
Can the average machine speed be tracked from previous data? Account for the
growth in the number of participating machines and come up with an average
machine speed from year to year?
