All sounds sensible.
What I'm really suggesting is that, unlike the other programs, I don't al=
ter =
these programs to make them take approx-ten-seconds to run, as there does=
n't =
seem much point.
We thus have programs grouped into "those that take 10 seconds, and are u=
seful =
runtime benchmarks", and "other programs".
If there is useful information to be gained from them, then great, but it=
=
probably isn't particularly useful to try and distort them into running f=
or 10 =
seconds.
