I don't have any specific suggestion, but I do recommend that you 
choose a C++ project because that's where we've got the most 
complaints.  Mozilla and QT are both obvious, but they'd probably be 
bad for this purpose because a timing run times five would take hours.

One possibility might be (some specific version of) libstdc++.
