System architects and developers at any server company that sells performance would kill for an additional 5%. Your trashing of the significance of it is a bit irresponsible, I would say.

I think it may be more accurate to state "Marketing guys, and people who write for PC-week, and who's only differentiating factor is the speed of their CPU clock ...". Architects and developers at server companies are so busy using Java that a 5% performance penalty seems like small beans. But you're from the desktop world, aren't you? The Tony Viola I've seen posting on the INTC thread so often. 5% is 5%, it is insignificant. It only matters when its the interest rate.
