OK, first things first: your CPU is more important than your operating system. Also, rather than just saying that it is x faster, it is important to know that it is x faster than y - 4000 better than 2000 is more important than 4000 better than 400000.

I do my best to improve performance, but you must note that while algorithmic improvments should see things improve across all processors, there will be some tweaks that are processor specific. Since I did the development yesterday on an Athlon, Athlon users will get the most benefit from it.

The Alpha may well need changing, and I recommend that you experiment to find the best value for your system.

Oh, and I did some more work last night... there might be a 1.31 soon, but I will compare it with the 1.30 with on a PIII first.

Paul.
