<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I am going to try out a
version of my code that is multi-threaded (and no, I'm not
competing with you; I'm just working on speeding up the code
that will be used to validate the results your own code
produces). The code is still on github in the aforementioned
location. The reason I'm sending this message is because the
multi-threaded version may run the server out of memory and/or
lock it up. I have not been able to fix that yet. It works
fine on 30GB of data, but this will be the first time I try it
on 100GB. I will reboot the server if I lock it up, with my
apologies. I will send out another message right before I run
the code.<br>
<br>
If you have code that you know puts the stability of the server
at risk, it's not a problem. Just mail the list first before
you run it so others can be aware and so I can reboot if needed.<br>
<br>
It may also be a good idea to advise the list before doing a big
test run so you don't throw other benchmarks off for logged-in
users who are also executing code.<br>
<br>
You can check if other users are logged in by typing the `w`
command. Use the `top` or `htop` commands to see if other users
are testing code. Just look for "perl" or "rakudo" in the
process table, or check the processes based on username.<br>
<br>
If you want to send a broadcast message to other users on the
server before you run your code, do so like this:<br>
<br>
</font><big><tt>echo "hello all, I am about to run my code, --Jane
Contestant</tt><tt>" | wall</tt></big><font face="Helvetica,
