since we have this nice little argument to all the tests (n) that we can 
increase as time goes by, i fail to see the why you have such a fear of 
fster computers.

admitedly we will run into problems with very large n, if the test is 
not well designed (sumcol). we then have to redesign the test. provided 
that it is only the data we change, and not the code, i think this is 
not a problem. imho.
