    Why link to a blank page? It was an honest question, no need to be snarky. I'll just take that as "I've no real facts about the numbers am throwing about" answer. Thanks

      It’s a benchmark tool that runs in your browser. You have to supply code samples to compare to see the numbers.

        A benchmark tool. Wow! Thanks for that snarkboy, I never would have known! Again, I wasn't asking for proof or tests, or links to blank benchmark tools where I could write the tests myself. I simply asked if you meant 1000 times faster literally or figuratively as that is a HUGE and significant difference. A more civil response: "Yes, I mean literally.
