Obviously some applications (i.e. CPU-intensive ones) will gain. The burden of proof is on you to show that it's worth it for the majority of packages, though, since I/O-intensive applications are unlikely to get a useful gain from processor optimization. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
