hey massman... thats weird though, why does it need that much space to calculate pi? it ultimately makes it a hard drive benchmark considering this bench is so old... back then the cache was so slow that the hdd must have played a big role in getting good results. now which uge caches and mem the problem isnt that much the hdd i guess.

again, weird why it needs so much space...
and 632mb... well we are talking about systems with 2gb of mem so why would pi write something to the hdd and not the mem, the mem should have plenty of space for any temp file pile that bench comes up with...

copying what from d to c makes the pi run slower?
