No, the times included the time to allocate nodes as well, but that
wasn't really a significant part of those experiments due to the fact
that for the shorter experiments, we only used 8 to 32 nodes (probably
all got allocated in under 60 sec), and for the larger test, like
MolDyn, the tests lasted hours, so the several minutes it took to
allocate 200 processors was again not significant. In fact, in MolDyn,
you can actually see that only 150 or so processors were allocated
initially, and the rest up to the max of 216 processors were allocated
incrementally as they became available. <br>
