The point was a claim that product A is faster than product B. All I am saying is that if raw speed is the criterion neither the Oracle database nor Informix wins. Anyone in this business should be knowledgeable enough to know that raw speed is never the deciding criterion. Thus the near relentless nonsense saying "but we're faster" may or may not be true but it is certainly irrelevant. Lotus 123 was always faster than Excel.
