Hi Mike,

Yes when running the benchmark tests with a reboot between each one, yours
indeed is faster than my compile. The odd thing is during play online I notice I
_never_ seem to see it achieve 100% cpu, normally around 97%, where my exe
nearly always gets 100%. I wonder what the difference is.

Also in little test games here and online mine performs better than yours as
others have pointed out as well. I am wondering if you have changed something in
the evaluation that is hurting it.

Peter.
