		Because the Godiva effort was a proof-of-concept academic research project, the Godiva team used a relatively slow clock rate -- one-sixth the rate of the Itanium.

		(Godiva's father, for example, is introduced as "a spiritual man" who is "fair, judicious, and endlessly devoted to England.") Characters are either wholly bad or wholly good; Canute is godless and murderous, while Godiva is courageous, pious, physically lovely and kind to small animals and children.
