----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 Possibly as a result of the faster XO-1.75 processor speed, the factorial
 example in pippy has a divide by zero error for calculating 2 factorial

 at line 29 it prints the reciprocal of the elapsed time which is rounded
 to zero

 possible solution, print elapsed time, delta, rather than 1/delta
