Be very careful with speed tuning!  I tried mixing several techniques and 
products a while back, and after tweaking combinations to multiply the 
effects, the time it took to perform ANY operation approached 'zero'. 

It was SOOOooooo fast (How fast was it???)

But a chance power fluctuation dropped the time to process an instruction to a 
slightly negative value, and the computer started running backwards!  By the 
time I could pull the cord, it had undone all the work I'd done in the past 
year!  

Please use extreme caution when trying these programs, and especially when 
reading comments ABOUT these programs...
