Someone asked that I run this with counts of -10 and -20. Here's three consecutive runs with the COUNT being -10. So now % appears faster but only just and maybe only at random times. So. I think I should be synching with the phase of the moon and whether some planet or other is ascension or some other astrology thing to decide which is faster at any given moment.

         Rate  and  mod
and 2517343/s   -- -13%
mod 2898815/s  15%   --
[jbenjore@w3d211 src]$ perl odd.pl
         Rate and mod
and 2545188/s  -- -9%
mod 2792512/s 10%  --
[jbenjore@w3d211 src]$ perl odd.pl
         Rate and mod
and 2667452/s  -- -2%
mod 2727161/s  2%  --
