</div></div>It'd be nice to see it. Is the test relevant to the workflow you have?<br>
<br>
How big is the improvement and under which conditions?<br>

</div>My preferences are exactly opposite. I don't see the point of<br>
performance improvements if the tradeoff is, for example, stability.<br>
Depends on what you do, I guess.<br>
<br>
If you run batch calculations and the computer occasionally freezes and<br>
the time you spend rebooting is less that what you gain, well, maybe. On<br>
the other hand, if you are using the computer for live performance.....<br><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#888888"><br></font></blockquote></div>I must have expressed myself wrongly because I think we have the same preference: What i meant to say was I'd rather have a stable system than a fast.<div>
