Re: Speed, ENOUGH ALREADY!!
Begging your pardon, I have enjoyed this thread and note that,
despite the overall negative tone of your missive, you offer a
nice set of control variables to be considered, to wit: "ROM version,
free mem, variables, battery power, type of test." This should appeal
to the experimental scientist. Someone might propose a scientific
study and ask for subscribers to take it off list until the results are
in?
