Nice numbers and nice machine. Must have set you back a bit. ;-) It seems when I match up exact revisions you're getting something between a 10-15% speed increase. Quite nice. Do we know that the amount code compiled is identical? I imagine everything you show is correct since the speed increase is pretty consistent from app to app. Great stuff. Thanks.
