I don't think it's flawed....depending upon interpretation. They said that BD ran significantly faster than CF 5.
They also said that it showed better stability and performance than CFMX. That last part is what's subject to interpretation. My interpretation is that they evaluated CFMX (and BD) before deciding upon BD based upon the fact that it "showed better stability and performance". I'm further inferring that the code used to test/compare was similar...otherwise you're right, and it's not necessarily a fair/valid comparison. Maybe Vince or somebody from NA (if they're at liberty to do so) can further elaborate on how MySpace.com came to the conclusions that BD was the better/more stable product.
