Good post, Ky Headhunter.

Len: But shouldn't speed comparisons come out with the exact same results regardless of who is performing it? I mean, as long as all the parameters of the test are kept consistent (and this may be what you're saying varies from tester to tester), it shouldn't matter who pulls the trigger. If the parameters weren't the same, then we can hardly term it an evaluation worth mentioning in terms of comparison.
