I just grabbed a copy and followed the instructions as found on
sourceforge. Just search on OSDB. Get the source tarball and the 40MB
test dataset.

I guess I could be talked into running some more tests, but they take a
few hours of run time for each iteration, during which I can't use my
dev machine (at least if I don't want to affect the results), so it's a
bit of a pain.

We should probably coordinate off-list and then just report back the
results.
