I fail to see how the average can have any real meaning anyway. It is just an average of random snippets of code which basically tries to test one feature in one way each, and for enough time to make it measurable. Whatever you do the average will not be able to predict how fast a normal application would run. We might as well remove it. But it is kind of nice to end up with a single number that tells the whole story :-) Regards, Gisle
