Hi Ross,
I ran the Factor IX benchmark with your input file on a GTX480.
Surprisingly, it's not significantly slower than your C2050 test, at
least with this system.
With your input, it completed in 956.84 s total time, or about 1.806
ns/day (DPDP mode). The SPSP version finished in 239.8 s (7.206 ns/day).
And the default SPDP version took 257.41 s or 6.713 ns/day.

For the sake of completeness, the GTX480 is on a desktop with dual
dual-core Xeon 5160 (3.00 GHz) and 8 GB of RAM.
