TM is saying he doesn't like people claiming it's going to be great when there's no release yet. Kris posted benchmarks showing things have improved and he has reason to believe it will be better. TM replies not with his own benchmarks, but basically saying he refuses to test anything until it's released and that no one should claim it's better until it's marked as a "release" version. So conclude by saying that there is reason to believe the next version will be better, "Here's why", and that you can have the drawn out fight over performance benchmarks up the wazoo after the release is actually...well...released. TM won't be happy until it reaches this status anyway so there's no use in arguing it if only benchmarking "release" versions is one of the requirements for the argument to come to a conclusion. :-) -Bart
