Difficult to see why measurements from the benchmarks game n-body task were shown in section 5.2 Baseline, Table 1.

Instead of 5 bodies, 50M iterations - the problem was changed to 16k bodies, 1 iteration.

There doesn't seem to be any basis for comparison.

(The benchmarks game programs weren't even used as starting points for parallelisation.)
