Make the children live longer

1.
Add some code to the children so they take a reasonable amount of time (like 1 to 10 seconds). This time should be spent doing computation, not I/O. Be creative.
2.
Running on one of the SGI workstations, measure the total execution time of your program as a function of the number of children.
