EXCELLENT, THANKS!!!

Could -- in the meantime -- some other people from the list just 
publish their "small and not complete and not systematic" benchmark 
results?  All of those results together could give (all of) us a better 
picture than each individual test alone.  Just specify in detail

- the hardware platform,

- the compiler & compiler options, and

- the Blast parameters (which set of query sequences?, which database?, 
repeat-masked or not?, which E-value?, etc.).

That would be super.  Thanks!

Ivo


P.S.

Likewise, did anyone do benchmark tests with Gibbs sampling or other 
bioinformatics algorithms other than Blast?
