It's from someone on mersenneforums (in a recent thread discussing the solution to LCS35 I found) and contains two tests (my code doesn't have any benchmarking in it and ain't as clean: it has all the code related to creating backup files with the intermediate results so that I could resume the computation).  On Core i7 CPUs it takes very roughly from 50 seconds to 30 seconds for the 100 m iterations.

Just so that there is at least one reply :-), the program on a 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3 gives 114 and 97 seconds.
