I didn't think this was a 6.1 regression compared to 6.0,
but 6.x compared to 4.x. It would be good to try and
quantify any performance differences here - so far it's
just a bunch of people's subjective opinions (including
mine) after upgrading from 4.x.
In Dave's case, the tests are explicitly 6.0-release vs
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Those are the two installations he has on
his laptop, which he is comparing to each other via dual-
booting. The thing is, he's not sure how to get the numbers
to back up the performance "feel" that he's experiencing.
