Hello Greg,
I find this quite interesting!  You can look at E-TAL's performance and see it's
not doing anywhere near that good.  It's running on a K6-2/350 with 256 meg ram
which measures about the same as my PII/333 using CST-2.  There is no way a %20
increase in speed would account for the difference we are showing.  Maybe E-TAL
has just had bad luck getting started.
