  Paul, I was unable to send to user at autonlab.org from my machine
(I guess I need the whole, unaliased group)..

Could you forward this to the mailing list?

Dear Paul  and others,
  Something definitely changed on the auton linux-alphas.
My code seems to run faster than it use to. But note that it
never runs fast (i.e. it is typically as fast as on my 1Ghz Pentium).

However, I started a code earlier today and noticed something
had changed within the last couple of hours: I went from running
pretty fast, to a dead crawl. I have suspended the code (while
still in IDL) and when I type: print, sin(whatever), it takes a full second
to calculate.  That same command runs instantaneously on Crazy.

It *wasn't* having the problem a couple of hours ago (i.e. the
code got about half-way done before this started happening).

Any ideas? Anything in the kernel logs look funny?

Chris
