Yes, and all those posted by you recently and in later archives.  No hardware
details though that I could find, anywhere

Sometimes!

The 79 is Moritz's timing, not mine, and that was posted *in reply to* my post
so by logic I could not know it when I made my post :-))

BTW - I am surprised CG did not give better timings on Moritz's fast hardware
(given my result on very slow hardware), which is the subject of other
discussion.

>Yes, but you did not mention your hardware.

Correct, Tord - Ilya did not, there or elsewhere.  Ilya's original post might
imply that he was using a P5/90 (since that is the hardware mentioned by quote
from Jouni, and Ilya does not mention his own hardware here or in any other post
of his I have found) - if so it is a *fantastic* result for VC2 in this one
position.

Ilya, please state hardware.  Or someone else who has VC2 try out the test,
please.  Preferably on a slower machine too, like mine, so we can see the effect
on VC2 of differing hardware.
