Step by step so that we could follow. don't quote nonsense. hyatt shows 1 or 2 positions and very seldom 3 or 5 positions to proof something and then claims 3.1 speedup out of 4. any test done so far over a lot of positions by anyone else than hyatt using his own program, even at his own machine, shows way less than 3.1. 2.8 in fact. Anyone denying statistical significance for measuring speedups has a hole in his head. > > >> >>-- >>GCP
