i'll bet it is - but i bet they also don't care :) it COULD be significantly
better than it is. from what i've read (i AM extrapolating though). speaking
from the view of someone whose life with x for the last decade has been spent
tryng to make more optimised x clients than what exists... :) i've made a tonne
of mistakes - LOTS and LOTS of them. i have learnt from them :)
