Re: FYI: FEMM runs well on GNU/Linux using wine

Keith -
I did not time any of the previous models I had, but my impression with the linux/wine version is that it took a similar amount of time to run. If you have a model you'd like me to benchmark against a windows system, I'd be happy to run it on my machine (dual processor PIII @ 500 MHz with plenty RAM). I believe that the process only occupies one thread so a single processor comparision should be ok.
