Just a little correction. The line
Sparc        4/280  40   32 MB  SunOs   gcc 2.1     15145       R. Dentzer

should read

Sparc        4/280  16   40 MB  SunOs   gcc 2.1     15145       R. Dentzer

i.e. the machine has 40 MB of main memory and a frequency of 16 MHz.

And as I am just at it, do the authors of "combinat.tst" know
what is mainly measured by this benchmark? From a gprof it seems
that most of the time is spent in the GAP Interpreter (>50 %)
and only very little for doing arithmetic and memory management (<5 % each).
Does this reflect time usage of typical GAP routines? What about
permutations, AG groups, finite fields, cyclotomic fields?

Thanks
