Hi Sebastian!

  Hmmm...interesting idea.....

  Aaron has already talked about this with me. He explained that it
would be good to have an AppletScript, so we can do stuff just like
you said.

  Yes, we are working really close (not physically close, just
remotely close =P ) with trolltech guys about this benchmark stuff. Do
you remember that Andreas talked about some people who gave some
benchmarks to them ? /me waves =)

  The good point is that we're sharing some results and probably we'll
have improvements not only on desktop but on the device as well
(n8x0).

Cheers!
