whats a moderate adjustment to 'reduction' look like? (for multiple cores, so presumably negative value --) 1, 10, 50?

I would call 10 or -10 a moderate adjustment
Komodo rules!

I find the following principle to be true for life in general. The things that I get for free are not nearly as rewarding as the things that I have had to work hard to achieve. Don't get me wrong I like a bargain but best things in life come through blood, sweat and tears.

John,
This is the first mention I've seen of "reduction" and an innovative test of yours. Please let us know the results of your "-10 reduction" experiment on multiple cores.

Would you rather be operated on by a doctor who was paid, or one that does it for free! :-)
