I thought of that too. I put the AA back to app preference and tried the timedemo again and got the following:
Date / Time: 10/3/2003 3:45:28 PM (102766171ms)

Memory used Max=148MB, Min=130MB, Ave=140MB
BUT, in my video options, I have everything turned off or low. Does the timedemo use my saved settings? With those settings, I had noticed it about that much faster before reverting my AA and AF to application preference. I'll turn on all my options now and run it again. I'll also try the time demo with -use11. BRB!
btw, who are ya?

Just when I think I've seen it all, I found a new wrinkle in my sack.
