I wasnt trying to compare programs. You had wrote about the SSDF testing,
all I was trying to say was the SSDF never tested the CM6K on K6-2-450
and that it is possible that it would perform better there. And that maybe
the default CM6K would perform better against other programs than
personalities that proved to be better than itself.

Thanks.
