I ran this problem on my old at-home machine with a screaming 200 MHz 
Pentium and 96MB of memory. It took 1:55 to complete from the time I 
pressed the "turn the crank" button until the solver was completely 
done writing the results to disk. If I assume that the solution time 
would scale linearly to a 500 MHz machine, 2/5 of the 200 MHz solution 
time is 46 seconds.
