The following numbers
are presented to suggest the scale of our operation.
Those of our users
not involved in document preparation
tend to use the system for
program development, especially language work.
There are few important
``applications'' programs.

Overall, we have

There is a ``background'' process that
runs at the lowest possible priority; it is used
to soak up any idle \*sCPU\*n time.
It has been used to produce a million-digit
approximation to the constant \fIe\fR\(mi2,
and is now solving all rook-and-pawn vs. rook chess
endgames.
Not counting this background work, we average daily
