Hi Sandro,

why do you think your setting is better if you have not tested it?
The idea to increase the interest in Shredder is understandable,
and it deserves any interest, cause it is an excellent software, of course.
From my own testing of settings I know, too, that many esp. small changes
dont change the overall strength too much, or to say it in an different way:
You have to work hard to hurt Shredder's outstanding strength ;-)

But I really cannot see the point, why you publish this setting, and not
any other of several thousand possible settings with presumably still acceptable
performance.
