People screamed bloody murder about using only 200MHz machines when faster ones
were available. I guess you can't please everybody.

I actually like that idea {*excellent* scientific merit to it}, but I suspect
that if you had an [OPINION POLL] then you will find that almost everybody wants
to see the tests on faster hardware.
There have been plenty of screams for this in the past. Now that it is being
delivered, we hear screams in the other direction.
The big problem (as I see it) is that nobody buys 200MHz Pentium machines any
more. I know I would not. Would you? I can see the point of wanting the tests
on faster hardware because the faster hardware is what people have or are
considering buying.
