(Took an unnoticiable time to calculate using bc on my home computer.
Man, it's been ages since I used bc!)
Wow that looks like it - I was using a 2 megahertz 8080 at the time :-)
(or was it really a 1 meg with a 2 meg xtal ! )

I just want some warheads to play with.

I'm interested in packing sodium and other chemicals round the warheads,
for really impressive coloured fireworks.
By altering the chemicals round it, you should be able to get pretty patterns
on the fireball too.

Nice fractal.

On my '486, I used to just let it rip and go to bed. I'd see what I had
the next AM.

These days, they draw so fast that they seem trivial. Back then, each
one was special.
