There is nothing left substantiating the single very most important thing in the entire paper (the speedups). As it is now, the speedups were set in stone and all the data that were supposed to support them or allow them to be calculated is based on them, instead of the reverse. For all we know, you determined what looked like reasonable speeups in advance and invented the 'supporting data' for them. Actually, that *exactly* how the paper looks without all your storytelling around it. And you are surprised people are sceptical about it? I'm sorry, but as far as scientific results go it is garbage. The explanation of the principles behind DTS is interesting, though :) >The actual speedup calculations are around. Would be interesting to see what is left of that. -- GCP
