[QUOTE="tfurr0ws, post: 8842"] [b]MP rocks, but is much slower than commercial counterparts[/b] MP is a very nice open-source project... very cool, very active development, lots of functionality and the promise of lots more. That said, I must agree that it is SLOW compared to commercial options I've used. Whether you have a 500mhz or 1ghz computer doesn't matter... neither one is an excuse for an application to use excessive resources. "I have $1000, so I'm going to spend $999!" "I have $1000, but I'm going to spend as little as possible and use the rest for other things!" Which mentality is better? MHZ=$ ? Ok, maybe not exactly, but I think you see the point.... the more resources NOT used by the core of MP, the more resources available for plugins, additions, other apps, etc! Does MP have a paypal "Donate" option setup? Might help the contributors to work on optimization if they had some funds to motivate... RE: "geez, mow some lawns and buy some better hardware!"... lol :) good to know that flippant, useless OT comments are allowed, they are rather amusing. Does anyone in here REALLY mow lawns for cash? Wouldn't it be easier to bum some $$ off mom? [/QUOTE]
