A good friend of mine was one of the chief architects of the Pentium and later the Itanium. He told me that when they were designing the pentium, a very ground breaking design at the time, they used a cray-xmp to run their processor simulator on. A very fast machine, and still not too shabby today. He told me that it took almost a month to get the DOS "C" prompt when booting DOS on the simulation program. I would expect that this setup would be just a day or two faster.
