Hmmm. Then (A) Axis is potentially even more mind-buggeringly slow
than I had imagined; and, more important, (B) your performance
measurements are measuring the performance of something other than SRW
and SRU. I question the value of such measurements. Surely it would
be much more useful to assess what people will actually deploy?
