Speed benchmark program adapted from BYTE, January 1983 issue, page 283, listing 5. It is a program for generating prime numbers based on the Sieve of Eratosthenes. Since it is designed to run in compiled languages, the program runs ten times, giving humans a chance to time its speed on faster systems.
