We don't have the manpower to support both. So while the above may be true, it 
doesn't change anything.

Note: If you wonder how something could be slower on older hardware but not on 
newer: The newer code makes proper use for multipled cores, thus it scales 
well when you throw a quad core at it, but is slower when you just have one 
core. Also, memory consumption may be higher.
