REV, RB, SC speed test, Latest results

[Chris Yavelow]

It made sense to start using real data: a 120,000-word target file, 
and a list of 915 search strings. Those are now available with the 
updated projects here: http://www.yav.com/speed.html Another new 
feature is that  I divided the task into 3 segments (Load Data, Check 
Matches, Display Data). The latest results follow. Revolution is 
currently running this particular task THREE TIMES FASTER than 
RealBasic, and more than TWELVE TIMES FASTER than SuperCard.
