Ok, here's a run on a Sun E450, Solaris 7. I presume your "total"
time label corresponds to my "real" time. That's what I'm including,
anyway.

System Configuration: Sun Microsystems sun4u Sun Enterprise 450 (2
X UltraSPARC-II 400MHz)
System clock frequency: 100 MHz
Memory size: 2560 Megabytes

BUFFER_SIZE = 64
MemSet(): 0m13.343s,12.567s,13.659s
memset(): 0m1.255s,0m1.258s,0m1.254s

BUFFER_SIZE = 128
MemSet(): 0m21.347s,0m21.200s,0m20.541s
memset(): 0m18.041s,0m17.963s,0m17.990s

BUFFER_SIZE = 256
MemSet(): 0m38.023s,0m37.480s,0m37.631s
memset(): 0m25.969s,0m26.047s,0m26.012s

BUFFER_SIZE = 512
MemSet(): 1m9.226s,1m9.901s,1m10.148s
memset(): 2m17.897s,2m18.310s,2m17.984s

BUFFER_SIZE = 1024
MemSet(): 2m13.690s,2m13.981s,2m13.206s
memset(): 4m43.195s,4m43.405s,4m43.390s

. . .at which point I gave up.
