Hmmm... I encoded the same song twice, with the same parameters and it was
encoded slower with 3.80, but maybe there are some other aspects that slow it
down? Maybe encoding it multiple times and taking an average would reveal
a more trustworthy result.

53.04/39*100 = 136, so that's about right, I'd say ;)

Right, that puts us back into the topic this thread followed before much
interferance from me ;) This is pretty helpful in choosing a new computer
that will perform well with encoding MP3's. And I do need a new computer :)
