	The usual answer is the difference is the overhead of running a windows
OS. About 25% and a bit high but that may be the new ME. It runs so many
things as cycle consuming processes that you have to expect this sort of

	Object oriented. The entire GUI screen is an object. That little PPS
number in the bottom right is a daughter process. The entire screen is
updated for that little change. I didn't make it that way, Gates did.
