That way we can get I agree, though history also shows (rather clearly) that 99% of the people trying one or the other simply don't do this. People are inherently lazy critters, and only a very small percentage are actually craz^H^H^H^Hdedicated enough to do this kind of benchmarking. We need to spoon-feed them some of the data, and the attitude we've taken up to now that people should think for themselves doesn't really seem to be working.. :-) Jordan
