And this is why office 2003 takes longer to load on a 2.4ghz machine then 
office 97 did on a 233.

I don't think that is a comparison you can safely make and retain any 
creditability.

If you want to keep the changes you made in a local tree or a p4 tree or 
whatever, and show us we're all wrong when you're done, thats fine.  But 
expecting committers to drop your code into the tree for such a purpose is 
silly.
