	Sounds to me like they have found a number of
(comparatively) easy changes they can make to the 040 to speed it
up and they want to do them first, before they make major

Now the world has gone to bed,		Now I lay me down to sleep,
Darkness won't engulf my head,		Try to count electric sheep,
I can see by infrared,			Sweet dream wishes you can keep,
How I hate the night.			How I hate the night.   -- Marvin
