I have a question on the "gexample" example in PVM 3.2.
When we choose to do a large amount of tasks, the
execution time increases, yet it is supposed to decrease,
since the processes run in parallel. Who can resolve this
paradox?

Also: what is pvm_reduce() supposed to do? I experimented
and commented it out, and it worked fine. So what's the
idea of it?

   Thank you for your answers.
