Something about the architecture being in network byte order, so you don't
have to go swapping everything around. The PowerPC is supposed to be pretty
whiz bang at the best of times. I can't remember about SPARC, isn't it lousy
at one of floating point or integer maths? (I think it's floating point).
What sort of math does Argus do?
