    The above table shows elapsed times (in minutes) for a representative sample of molecules and job types, with sizes ranging from 120 to over 1500 basis functions. 4- and 8-processor timings are given. Systems with no symmetry and large basis sets show the best scaling. Symmetric systems scale less well because serial tasks (matrix operations) have a larger relative importance.
