Yeh.  I read the PDF.

Thanks for the info on Ivy Bridge.  I haven't looked at processor 
generations for a while.  Bought a laptop about a year ago with an I7 
processor.  Still have a couple of desktops with Q6600 processors from a 
few years back which are still absolutely fine for day to day use and 
development.

Rendering is the only thing that is really processor bound and I don't 
do much of that lately.  Oh, I did have a crack at the Eternity II 
puzzle but there isn't enough CPU power on the planet for that yet.

On a meta-question - Why not post a brief summary when you provide a 
link?  A lot of people wouldn't bother to follow an unknown link.  I 
usually don't.  Then, some people would follow the link and find it a 
waste of time to them and be less inclined to look at anything you post 
in the future.

Is it a deliberate strategy to tempt people, are you too lazy, or do you 
feel the Invisible brand of off-beat random linkage is sufficiently 
powerful?  Probably the latter and I guess around this forum that is 
true - except where Haskell is involved :)
