There are some better evals in 2.60 and Bayes does some incredible things. Also some fixes that I think were broke in 2.55. But those rules can be turned off in 2.55, which I'm sure you have done. However, I'm still running patched 2.43 and get results like you. It is now kind of a personal thing. "How well can I make my version run without Bayes against the newer versions of SA?" So far the answer is, "Pretty damn good!" :) Everytime I tell myself I'm going to upgrade, I see my success rate and think to myself, "I'll wait and see how my current version will do." I could even put a number on it. Say if my version fell below 90% rate I would upgrade. I'm close to 99% right now! FP rate is small. I have a "to do" list I'm finally getting to for that. The devs are doing some great things with new versions. I'm going to be forced to upgrade soon to be able to work on a project with others. But I'm waiting until the last possible moment :) My little 2.43 has been so good to me! --Chris ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
