"If every computation were represented by a single grain of sand, you could fill up the Houston Astrodome with sand 350 times in a single second."

There's a new one. Can anyone comment on the utilization of these megacomputers? Do they have somewhere near 100% usage, with a queue extending weeks? Also, is all this computational power really... necessary? I've seen some intensely inefficient simulation code in my time.
