I talked with Dove about their Marathon for the Plus, just a few
weeks ago.  They say it is *not* a "true" accelerator and make
no promises concerning speed improvements.  They talked in terms
of *possible* improvements of 10%-40%, I think, which is definitely
not worth the money.  They also said that the amount of improvement
was application dependent.  But, basically, even if you got lucky
and got maximal improvement with your particular application, it
wouldn't match would you would get for the dollar with other
"true" accelerators.  Finally, they also said that they have a
"true" accelerator for the Plus in the works, probably out
sometime this fall or winter.
