Wow that's pretty interesting on it's own. It turns out a program was trying to figure out long the LOOP instruction would take to run by running it 2^20 times and dividing it by the amount of time taken in milliseconds. On a Pentium 3 this took 17ms, but on a K-2 (and faster) this could take 0 milliseconds.
