Even if the few code changes (simple ones on a high level) really have an impact of around 40-50 ELO, I am quite sure Fabien would have tried the same techniques sooner or later, _if_ he had the time, but AFAIK he has very little time currently in developing Fruit. IMO the 'Toga extensions' just robbed Fruit's future... Guenther
