REV, RB, SC speed test, Latest results

[Norman Winn]

Hi,

I am a user assessing Revolution as a replacement++ for Filemaker. I am 
also assessing other tools so am following this discussion with 
interest. Here are my observations:

1)  Can any of you consider this to be a fair comparison? You, the 
'you' being probably the best RR programmers on the planet, have had a 
couple of weeks to optimise RR's algorithm. Has the sense of justice in 
anyone pushed them to pass the challenge to the RB list?

2) One of the suggested strengths of Revolution is the simplicity of 
getting things done. Why should such a common task take such a lot of 
optimisation to produce the best results? Are not the 'out of the box' 
solutions i.e. those that will be produced by the average user, a 
fairer comparison?

3) On a more positive note, the possibilities of optimisation have 
revealed to me a rich programming environment underlying the IDE,
