NEC Timing

In conjunction with the results provided by Dick Adler I add the
following:

Proposed by Larry Laitinen. The problem was a 299 segment dipole
over perfect ground. The NEC data set is the following:
 
CE
GW 1,299,-139.,0, 6.,+139.,0, 6., .001,
GE 0,
GN 1,
FR 0,0,0,0, 0.54,
EX 0, 1,150,0,1., 0.,
RP 1, 1, 1,0000, 1.5, 0., 0., 0., 1000.,
EN
 
MININEC Professional calculated this problem in 9 seconds using
the same 299 unknowns. This is compared to a NEC calculation
of the 22 seconds on an Intel Pentium 120-MHz.
 
On a 486-120, the time required to perform the above calculations using
NEC2 was 56.7 seconds.
