Dear Pete, "But both trials used the same exact hardware according to the disclosures. So why did the first trials take 186 seconds and the later 175 seconds." ??? Why have I mention this again and again, third time? Because with little effort to read the SPEC disclosures, first submission was done with Intel 5.0.1 compiler biuld 010727Z, while the second submission used newer, apparently improved build 010922Z. The systems were running _different_ binaries, they cannot be treated as the same datapoint. "Evidently using different sample sets gets different answers." This is the only sentence in your post I can agree with<g>. All other points are either half of completely wrong, like the very first one, I counted at least ten of them. But I do not think I want to waste time of our fellow thread members and myself. We have no progress here. Sorry: Three strikes - out. - Ali
