Egbert,
I believe this guy had 4.3.0 running with a savage with UseBIOS off because the BIOS failed for some reason so the UseBIOS option was turned off.
In the later 4.3.99.x series the BIOS now works for him, but unfortunately the BIOS makes some more conservative settings for the accelerator engine in the savage.
If he add Option "UseBIOS" "off" back in, I believe that will solve his problem.
OK I'll redo the tests for CVS. But I don't really understand why I saw only few performance problems and almost all other tests are good (and several are even very very good wrt to 4.3.0.
Anyway I'll post the result here and on bugzilla.
Bye
Manu
