The problem is that Moore's law tends to be false, as I've been told, so the technique might be wrong at some point. BTW, that's exactely what computing is all about: being lazy.

So I suppose if we were to do them on one CPU, it would take 2 years. Of course, clients might get a bit stroppy if they found out we were simply waiting around for new computers while sat on the beech.
