RE: What About Price vs. Performance?

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The model 270 shows much better results for 5250, Nathan.  It's more in line
with your 5msec a page, but no faster (in fact, a tad slower) on the web
pages.  So on the model 270, there's more like a 30-1 ratio than 3-1.  This
is disappointing, to say the least.

But that's why we run tests, I guess.
