- Timings are not really very useful. It's a case of whether or not the
- decrease in speed is acceptable for you. I recently upgraded my father's
- ARM2 A3000 to RISC OS 3, and ever since he has been begging me to put
- RISC OS 2 back in..

- I also did not include any more technical information, because I am sure
- that somebody would find fault with my comments, and I'm not in the mood
- for a flame war at the moment :=().
