Thats nothing like true.

Ditto.

Most will see some improvement, particularly with the faster sites.

PE> I would normally recommend you stick with

Or you can say that at sub $200 class money, even just reducing the
irritation level is justifiable, particularly with net stuff where
you are often sitting at the machine waiting for something to happen.
Its different with say a download where it can be done in the background.
