Good grief!

You're in the benchmark business, you should be prepared to take a lot of 
heat.  Next time you'll cover your a$$ and get past your biases and run 
benchmarks on the *exact* hardware for everything.

I don't think you fudged your numbers, but I question your professional 
integrity by running it on different hardware and displaying your obvious 
bias in a presentation.  Go ahead take me to court.
