I can only say that I do not remember a big drop in Shredder results so the
situation with shredder is different relative to the cituation with fruit.

There was some drop in the results of shredder colombus setting but I think that
the drop was smaller than the drop of fruit sel=50 setting.

I think that it is not fair that you compare my response to the response of
sandro and Dr Wael Deeb because the situation was not the same.
