Download superpi from there and have your computer calculate pi to the 2 millionth digit!

Apparently with the command line version, it takes a number, then computes pi to the 2^num digit. So "pi 10" calculates 2^10=1024 digits of pi. So I don't think it's possible to calculate to the two millionth exactly...
Anyway, my 1.33GHz G4 did 2^21=2,097,152 digits in 182 seconds, or just over three minutes -- while I was BitTorrenting and web surfing and so on. Sounds like the Windows version might have some flaws...
Wow...I was running nothing at all and my computer is that much slower??? I really need to get a new laptop.
Where's the source code for this?
my 1.6gHz athlon xp-m in my laptop did 2^21 in 180 seconds exactly, with firefox and xchat and stuff. Sounds pretty normal, I guess!
130 seconds. Athlon64 X2 4400+, 2GB of RAM.
99 seconds. Athlon 64 3200, 1 GB RAM.
oddly enough, the linux version runs faster than the freebsd version on freebsd 6.1-prerelease (both x86 and amd64)...
1.6 GHz turion laptop, freebsd 6.1-prerelease amd64:

> gcc version 2.7.2.3 with compile option of "-ffast-math -O3" was used for the compilation.

why are you running it in wine? there is a loonix version (and versions for several real operating systems, too)...
Around 40 minutes on a crappy school PC (Windows). :)
I'll need to try this on my PowerBook when I get home.
