Actually, if posters make an effort to post a complete reproducible trial scenario, everybody on the forum _can_ benchmark things, and learn things, and sometimes discover things. That's one of the reasons asktom is so popular and useful, and why some posters here are credible.

(This is not a flame of David, he is correct that the OP should benchmark both. Just quibbling about whether everybody on the forum should).
