It is possible that the new programs earn more from fast hardware relative to old programs and that this is the reason that I do not see the diminishing return. I compared the difference of the same programs of the ssdf list between p200 and p90 and between K6-450 and p200 and I was surprised to find that the improvement from K6-450 relative to p200 is bigger than the improvement between p200 amd p90 I admit that it is possible that the programs I compared between K6-450 and p200 earn more from time and that there is a diminishing return from being twice faster. The only way to check it is to use the same programs on 3 different hardware or with 3 different speeds. Uri
