Tried the new V21 Linux version (p95v21x.zip). My original (35 um)
Athlon got the same percentage speed increases that others have been
reporting (did *not* have to explicity put in CpuSupportsPrefetch=1).
One minor V21 difference: I was using the "Advanced/Time" option,
and V20 would show each 'timing' line as it completed. But V21
did not change the screen appearance (after "Accept above answers?")
until the whole multi-iteration 'timing' run was complete -- then
it showed ALL the 'timing' lines at once, immediately followed by
the elapsed time of the whole 'timig' run, plus the estimate of the
time it would take to perform an LL test of the specified exponent.
