Tony, can you share (privately or with us all) your benchmarking
procedure/program/technique? I'd be really interested to know. I'd love
to be able to answer performance questions with some hard numbers taken
in a controlled situation. (This, versus just anecdotal responses from
the user community, would be helpful in determining cost/effectiveness
of a given upgrade.)

Thanks,
Patrick
