Thanks.  Looks like the single is faster, at least on the machine in
question.

That's about what I see.  I see bursts of activity and then big
stalls.  Something is definitely broken in that code.  I haven't taken
more than a cursory look at it.  I probably ought to change the README
to reference code that is known to work.

For stuff that is known to work try src/gnu/examples.
