Eriq,

The hardware you stated is hardly a way to test any programs against each other.
 It's like racing a Porsche 911 turbo against a Mini-Cooper.  A thousand game
test would be just as useless.

I am not deriding Fruit because it IS a very nice program, but you really need
to equalize your hardware to a point they are similar.  DHM
