I ran it again a few minutes later and got similar but slightly better results.

Maybe we have used up our limit for fast action or something for the month and gone back to snails pace. I don't know much about such things as you can probably tell.:eek:

The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were and ask "why not?".
