If you cant grasp the fact that what matters is the 4 minute session
times, and that it really doesnt matter a stuff if its a 1 second or
6 second saving when you have a 4 minute session time, thats entirely
your problem Paul.

Its just utterly anal retentive silly stuff of no importance at all.

PE> well you're the only person on this system who was convinced.

You have absolutely NO idea what anyone else thought about it except
yourself. And judging by some of the comments others have made about
some of your anal retentive stuff... |-)

PE> I thought you reckoned you were willing to say "I was wrong"
PE> when it is quite evident that you made a total balls-up?

I am, I still maintain that worrying about either 1 second or 6 seconds
in a total session time of 4 minutes is pointless, and that if you really
do want to save either 1 second or 6 seconds in a session time like
that, there are FAR more productive ways of saving that amount of time.

AND this latest question of the port speed doesnt stand a chance of
saving that maximum time anyway, wont get within a bulls roar of it.
If by some miracle you could say go from 3200 to 3400 cps, that would
save about 2 seconds if you are fucking lucky, and it aint gunna happen
anyway, coz there is plenty of headroom at 38400. QED, its anal.

PE> The files we were using had only "X" in them.

RS> Well, thats hardly surprising then is it ?  And completely
RS> irrelevant to whether it would help with the speed of my PKTs.

PE> The fact remains that it still looked like there was headroom
PE> left, since the CPS rate was less than 3840.  It turns out that
PE> that theory was incorrect.

You dont know that. I still dont believe that you really did have
headroom left and could achieve a higher thruput. You either stuffed
the test or the Spirit has fucked code in it. And *I* know that that
wont be happening for ME coz *I* already tested it and it didnt.

And even if it did you, would be fucking lucky to save 2 seconds.
Whoopy fucking do in a session time of 4 minutes. With FAR better
ways of saving 2 seconds if you really want to.

Corse I am FAR too polite to ask you to admit you are being anal |-)
