I installed this and am kind of curious about why I seem to have lost 
some execution speed vs. 1.5.2b? A text processing script that 
formerly took 257 seconds to run now takes 369 seconds- same script, 
machine & test files and no changes in environment that I know of. 
I've given the interpreter 15000k just like before and the only 
difference that I can think of is that I used the easy install this 
time instead of only installing for PPC. Could this be executing 68k 
code instead of PPC code? That's the only explanation that I've 
thought of thus far, but maybe I am overlooking something. Thanks for 
any suggestions.
