And that alone would explain the six-fold difference in speed? WOW!

But x86 computers also have (extremely powerful) graphics cards that 
VRPC presumably has access to, so I would still be looking for a speed 
increase of VRPC over a Geminused Iyonix of more than double (with 
respect to !Variations).
