Sorry I only included one log file. Anyway here is the test again with your >output.1 command. The PII is still about 38% faster ?! Here are the two log files (only the ends) for comparison. It's obvious that the first one is the K6-2. Since I lose all screen info when running in the >output.1 mode, I just let them both run about 100 seconds and then "end".
