Hi,
is there any chance that you could explain what some of this means?
There is lots of data and some very pretty graphs, but no explanation.
Which numbers are "good", which are "bad"? Which is "worst".
What do the graphs really show? and what would we like to see in them?
I think it is really great that you are doing this testing and reporting the
results. It's just so sad that I completely fail to understand them.
Thanks,
NeilBrown
