[Catalyst] Non-real world irrelevant benchmarks

[catalyst.20.chsg at spamgourmet.com]

Marcus,

I've been mulling this over for the last week, and finally realized  
that I don't have enough understanding of what you said to make any  
use of it.  Would you mind expanding on what "scal[ing] in a linear  
fashion" means for those of use that don't know?

Many, many thanks,

Conan.
