Wait a minute.  That's enough frivolity.  I put the subject up here so we could see that there are other folks, in other venues and, most important, other technical areas, that are interested in ultimate top speed.  And what you folks do?  You derailed the topic.

It looks to me like he's trying to railroad us into being more serious, but I think one serious post would probably spur us onto the right track!  :-D :-D :-D
