> MicroDigital's statistics from their favourite benchmarking app, RISCOSmark:

Well, who really cares what RISCOSmark results are. As a matter of fact, I couldn't care less with those synthetic tests since they tell me nothing about how long i takes me to do the odd task. Or to but it bluntly, I can't care less if the memory transfers do 1MB/s or 10MB/s but I am indeed interested in how long it takes me to load some file in some editor and to amend it (e.g. to rotate some big image or do some nice blends in ArtWorks).

Strange is though, that MD said that Steffen Hubers benchmarks are useless due to not being real-life things and now they go for just non-real-life tests :-)
