That's about right - peaks at under 30 Kn/s on a P5/90.  G5 is the same speed
i.e. averaging c50KN/s on a P5/200, which as I stated in the preceding post is
maybe a little faster than Rebel 9.  Fritz 5 is much faster.  And look how it
gobbles hash!

Kind regards

PS: Amir, what does Junior deliver currently (KN/s)?
