Receptor Timings Again



 Receptor (TM - Tripos Associates) Beta version V2.3 timings for the ACE
 series at four and two degree scans.
 The first molecule in the series is five rotatable bonds.
 Runtimes reported for V2.3 are truncated to the nearest integer second for
 compatibility with V2.2. The 4 and 2 degree scans converge to one cluster of
 two points. A post-processed run has 14 points in two clusters. A run with
 an automatically generated, variable scan parameter ranging from 2.8 to 0.86
 degrees yeilds 5 points in two clusters without post-processing.

 Notes:
 "Top CPU" is the recorded total CPU for all forked processes,
 including
 	  overhead and I/O.
 "Top Elps" is the recorded elapsed time from command line parsing to
 	  the exit of the last child processes.
 "Top Sys" is the recorded UNIX system overhead from the times()
 function
 "Chg CPU" is the algorithmic chargable time from initial rotations
 	  to termination (child process CPU)
 "Chg Elps" is the elapsed time spent rotating and computing.
