Look everybody, it's very simple.  1 copy of the program takes 52 
seconds.  2 copies of the same program running at the same time take 
59 seconds each.  3 copies take 66 seconds, 4 take 73.  Each process 
runs on its own CPU, but when several of them are running each takes 
a little longer because they contend for the slow main memory, even
though each process has a CPU all to itself.
