Hi Jeff,

I've also noticed that with a modern x86-64-based machine (with 3GB of RAM,
and a triple-core AMD Phenom II CPU), and a recent-ish version of GCC
running under *buntu. It certainly seems like a good stress test for any
compiler/OS/machine combination.

With that in mind, just what is packet-parlay.c being used for, anyway?
(And why is it so large?)

Apologies in advance for the stupid questions,

Tyson.
