	Several mesgs on the net lately use Norton SI index to compare
	speed loss in enchanced mode. This brings some doubt in my mind.

	I have Norton 5.0 and a 16-SX with 4Meg (70nsec) Ram on board
	and a 15msec Hard Drive. Yet the SI index of my machine is about
	10.5 in DOS and 8.5 in Windows (Enchanced mode) while other people
	have 15 plus in dos on SX laptop and 22 on IBM 386-20. Surely my
	machine can't be that slow. It's Gateway 2000 machine which should
	be an average perfomer. So I suspect the Norton 4.5 and 5.0 give
	different numbers.

	Can somepople confirm this?
