Our statistics still indicate that ppc is somewhere between 0.5%[1] and 2%[2] of our userbase, so if it's a *little* rough we can let it slide. Your experience is more than a little rough, though. Honestly it should be better than that. Normally, though, we can fix ppc up with a couple of quick patches here and there. Let's hope it stays that easy. -w [1] Can't find a reference for this right now, but this was the number we calculated during the run up to FC6 final.

Also Woodhouse has like 20 of these machines, I swear ;)
