  comment = {A substantial part of this structural-analysis application was
  involved in I/O, moving substructures in and out of RAM. The Maspar IO-RAM
  helped a lot, nearly halving the time required. On the Cray, the SSD had an
  even bigger impact, perhaps 7--12 times faster. Their main conclusion is that
  caching helped. Most likely this was due to its double-buffering, since they
  structured the code to read/compute/write in large ``superblocks''.}
