Speaking of which, here's the latest version.  Things I'd like people to
look at:

o The canonical ordering picture / table.  I think I managed to make it
clear, but please have a look and confirm/deny.

o In the section on the swapping service, I've left in the comparisons
of memory and CPU time for all three implementations, despite the fact
that FMDB and MOAB don't have the critical calls tweaked.  Tim, Mark (et
al), I'm happy to take those comparisons out for now, although I think
we'd be well-advised to have the fully optimized versions in the final
paper either way.

o Lori has promised I'll have new FE results before this goes to press. :-)

And thanks to Jason for cleaning up the Mesquite section.

Carl
