	You seem to be missing the point. Try reading up on the
	specs of the TPC-C benchmark. Check out the TPC site.

	The real point is that RLL isn't critical to an application.
	I think this is what Pablo has been trying to get across.
	His remark about Informix's numbers going higher is
	obvious. Like any other company they are continually
	refining their products to stay competitive.
