Subject: I am surprised: under XP programs run up to 10% faster than under 98!

My new PC is now fixed (they replaced whole mainboard). I compared some test
runs under XP Pro to old Windows98 SE test and surprised: specially Ruffian now
runs 10% faster and also Fritz8 2-5% faster (including Fritzmark). I sure didn't
except this. Only minor drawback is, that XP takes more RAM, but it's only
10-15MB more. So Microsoft has something right, when they claim programs run
faster in XP.
