[CIG-MC] Questions regaring CitcomCU

I stopped the program at step 3650. Most steps only took 1-2 seconds to
finish, except the 0th step, which took ~10 seconds. The cpu time can be
found by "grep ^CPU | caseA.log0". The CPU I am using is Intel Xeon 3.2
GHz, and each process took 125M of memory. My CPU is unlikely to be 90x
faster than yours. The slow speed of your program must come from
something else.

A good indicator is the load of the CPU when the program is running. If
the load is substiantially below 1 (for this kind of small problem, load
of 0.8 or higher is expected), your program might be slowed down by disk
IO or busy network traffic or something else.

Attached below is the content of caseA.log0 for the 0th and 1st steps.
If you like, I can provide a tarfile for the solution of a few steps.
