Although it has only been running for a short time, I have seen more
stability and speed with the new release. It is clearly faster for
optimization runs than previous versions.
Below is a summary of the time in seconds required per test for an
optimization run I that have used as a benchmark on several machines.
(These results include tests by several people on the same
benchmark.) It shows the that TS2000i was about the same speed as
TS4.0 through SP4c but became a factor of about two faster with SP5.
The slowest was 8.7 seconds per test for a slower machine on TS4.0
down to 1.4 seconds per test on the fastest machine on SP5.
This is for a clean install of SP3, upgraded to SP4c, then upgraded to SP5.
I wondered how the users are finding the quality level and speed of SP5?
Latest summary of benchmarks attached below.

----------------------------
The time per test was as follows (in seconds). (The total time for an
optimization run would be these numbers multiplied be the number of
tests performed in the run.)
