It is little difficult to tell exact iteration times but this is
what I'm seeing for exponents around the 8,000,000 mark
Ultra 5 270Mhz .60s/iteration
Enterprise 450 300Mhz/2MB Cache .44s/iteration
Ultra 10 333Mhz/2MB Cache .44s/iteration
I suspect the E450 is going as well as the Ultra 10 because of faster
memory access.

We're supposed to be getting a quad processor E450 soon they'll
be 400MHz/4MB cache processors. I'll try on that when it arrives.

If you want to have a count up before deciding, I've got 5 getting
23.5+ hours CPU/day and 2 at about 4 hours CPU/day.
