Sometime in the last 7-10 days, some one made a
change that has broken process accounting/timing.

testf is a numerically intensive program that tests the
accuracy of expf() in a tight loop.  User time varies
by ~3 seconds on my lightly loaded 2 GHz core2 duo processor.
I'm fairly certain that the code does not suddenly grow/loose
6 GFLOP of operations.
