Ok, I'm not really on one side or the other so much, but anyone that
says "This same thing ran 60x faster on CPU X vs CPU Y and I'm going to
be looking at more differences than just the CPU used. Can I ask for
more specifics on what exactly ran 60 times faster and what else was
different in the machines?
