Dec. 17, 2001: This is a screenshot of vmips 1.0.2 running
the "Hello, world" program from the test_code distribution, with
instruction counting enabled. It's compiled with debugging instead of
optimization, and it's running on a relatively slow machine with a cold
cache, which accounts for the rather dismal speeds; I've seen it run
as fast as 6 times the quoted speed. Yeah, that's it. I know. Excuses
excuses. :-)
