Not my problem.  The log was sent to you and Vincent at the _same_ time.  Then
you ran the same test on a quad 550 and produced _another_ log...

I didn't use "statistics".  I used raw observed data and posted the numbers here
many times.  Ditto in the DTS paper.  Position by position, speedup by
speedup...

But you and vincent keep up with the "2.8 is the number".   It is't.  It is
certainly "around 2.8."  It is closer to 3.1 as I have said...
