Anyone have any ideas /why/?

What was *different about the processing* ?
And how did this make some systems execute faster for a particular AR whilst others would be slower?

Details must be on the web site somewhere. I don't know where though.
I just thought the drift rate affected the number of FFT's one can do. The faster the drift rate the less the number of FFT's one could do and thus the processing speeds up. The slower the drift rate, the more FFT's one can do and the processing rate slows down. I'm sure the details are more complex than that, but in a nutshell that's it ...
