This is probably because dummy doesn't actually do any real timecounting... and that the times that the benchmark took was longer then reported by the machine.. dummy just increments a counter, and means that the times returned only have a relation to how often/much the time "hardware" was queried... Use a stopwatch to time the benchmark, and make sure that the time the benchmark took agrees with what the computer says... -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."Received on Fri Oct 28 2005 - 18:19:00 UTC
