1) Please go to the blog post, move your cursor over one of the data tables, and click.


2) Notice that the web page you're taken to has the title - "Ubuntu : Intel® Q6600® quad-core"


3) Click on the "C++ GNU g++" link


4) Scroll down (or page search) to "Step 3" and notice that k-nucleotide shows

C++ GNU g++ 13.03 CPU secs, 3.84 Elapsed secs, 83% 81% 94% 84% ≈ CPU Load


5) Change the comparison to Pascal Free Pascal and notice there's no difference between CPU secs (66.26) and Elapsed secs (66.29) for the Pascal program
