You're excused, because I'm talking about real-world measured 
performance of a few dozen user accounts here, not a calculation 
of what it might possibly be under ideal 
conditions :) This data was collected and averaged a few years ago
and I have no doubt that things are _better_ now - perhaps someone
would like to collect current data?
