Some of the posts are on the border of moderation.

My suggestion is:
Stop reading it!

Here is the thread boiled down to a few sentences (paraphrazing):

start:
Antagonist> You said Crafty was .7x faster but it is only .6x faster with each
new thread!
Proagonist> Well, my off-the cuff remark is approximately correct.  Within my
measurement certainty at least.
Antagonist> You swore on a stack of Bibles it was .7x!!!!!  You chisled it on
stone tablets and swore a solemn oath!
Proagonist> Did not.
Antagonist> Did so!
Go to start.

Now anyone who has not read it can save themselves some time.
