Each time the fit function is called, it sweeps through 635 days of 
stock price data for 20 different companies.  I am finding fit 
parameters for a 20x20 matrix (19x19 in another case).   So that is more 
than 190 parameters, with more than a minute per sweep.  180,000 sweeps 
required by TMinuit. 

For a 3x3 company matrix, the code finishes in 20 minutes or so and yes, 
the fit and errors look good and I am very excited by the potential of 
this technique.  My 20x20 just finished over the weekend, with 226 CPU 
hours logged, and I hope to see the good results this morning.

    - John
