How much slower? I've returned a few units from a couple of my machines
since the change and they don't seem any faster. Maybe I'll have to wait
for
a larger representitive sample to see the difference?
V3.08 worked out at about 15% slower overall than v3.03 for me but that was
a while back, so maybe they re-compiled it..? Hmmmn, the v3.08 .exe is dated
March 28th 2003 on the alien ftp server, so I don't think it's been
re-compiled. I wouldn't worry about it, you'll see it's much faster in the
longer term for sure - that's why most 'dedicated crunchers' are still using
it. ;-)
