Most common + with the largest ammount of data, anyway.
Nevertheless I allways like to look at Eric's list - there ARE
interesting details added, just like in - or decrease with more/ less
RAM - different CPU's.
A lot of work  - we shouldn't forget this, and the " brainchild " H6 is
treated absolutely correct therein - but of course commented a little
better - but that's normal.
And referring to MORITZ' interesting letter :

IF things don't come to a rapid calm down - it'll be the end of this
list -
this or that way, I'm quite sure 'bout that.
One speakes about the "SSDF" - and " the list " - who really remembers
all them testers, who still play by hand - spendin' time without
donation - just for their hobby...and our common benefit ( least, until
shortly...)
If I were one of them, I'd say to myself : "....what the heck - let them
do their testing alone....."
