I can't recall if Amber-6.0 provides the same extensive breakdown of the timings,
as does the newer version of sander that I have been working with (pre-7.0).
But you could quickly figure out why the timings were different. It's
really surprising that RH7 is faster than MDK72, because Mandrake usually
uses more aggressive optimizations than Red Hat when they compile their C library.
