I think >it's quite a problem to define. Maybe the same, since you get almost all of the WAC problems in a few seconds. Even if one gets a few more in the same amount of time it's no *strong* indication of anything, really. Mine gets 286 in 5 seconds on a P6/200, but takes 53 seconds to get to 295. That is "find and hold", so if I'd stopped at 5 seconds rather than running a whole minute, it might have gotten a couple more, I don't know. I can make versions that get more right, but which I don't like as much. bruce
