  Seriously, this should not be underestimated.  I tried it for the first time
last night, and suddenly configure scripts really just fly by; I'm used to a
second or two's delay between the results being output from each test, but
this thing will suddenly scroll you half a screen full of results in a
fraction of a second when it's on top of its game.  Seriously, w00t!

    cheers,
