| As usual with performance results these should be taken with a large pinch |
| of salt: relative performance is known to shift quite a bit depending upon |
| the architecture of the particular test system used. Further more, our |
| performance results were obtained using our own test data: these test values |
| are designed to provide good coverage of our code and test all the appropriate |
| corner cases. They do not necessarily represent "typical" usage: |
| whatever that may be! |
