  1. Many people have reported that E/D 1.99q10 and 1.99q11 are much faster
  2. than previous Executors.  There are two big factors which should
  3. indeed have sped up Executor, and they probably explain everything.
  4.  
  5. However, since I had to change our timer code around for those
  6. releases I am a little nervous that part of the speedup could be a
  7. newly introduced timer bug.  Since people are reporting that *all*
  8. programs seem faster, that's unlikely, but ARDI would look really bad
  9. if a bug caused Executor's benchmark numbers to appear to have been
  10. artificially inflated.
  11.  
  12. Could someone who noticed a big speedup please time Speedometer with a
  13. stopwatch under 1.99q9 and 1.99q11 and verify that it really did get
  14. faster, independent of what Executor thinks?
  15.  
  16. Thanks!
