We're thankful for the credit.

They're about equal, I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong.

As long as there is enough memory to set the cache to a good value, I don't
believe a increase of memory will make a huge difference. All modern
computers have enough memory to set the cache to 64k enteries and that is
enough.

Not much difference here either.

The big difference is the compiler that compiles the program. I believe
Ingo is working on this and I think his study will gain some speed. Ingo?
How's it going?
