Likely, others share my desire. Yes, it's really outdated. Unfotunately I don't really have the setup (or interest to spend a lot of effort making it) for maintaining quantitative comparisons, and updating just the qualitative ones mixed with very old quantitative ones seems wrong. Maybe I could drop the quantitative ones (and leave just a link to an old version with them), or maybe someone interested in keeping and updating them could make an automated tool to measure at least some of them. (The performance ones will be very machine-specific, but the memory usage ones are mostly universal and could be meaningfully measured on different machines.) Rich
