dazed & confused

[John McCain]

I seem to have seen a significant performance drop between .15.7 and .15.8, 
but there is some question as to whether I am seeing what I think I am 
seeing.  I am using bogotune as a performance metric, and the example case I 
have is running .15.8's bogotune on a database created by .15.7 (and getting 
good results) as opposed to running .15.8's bogotune against a database 
created by .15.8 (and getting bad results).
