This slow-down thing amuses me.....loads of people seem to get terribly
defensive/supportive of ICR2 agaist GP2 as if it's a competition.

Have you noticed how jerky ICR2 becomes when its processor is
overloaded.....be fair, when it came out 486-66's and P66's were pretty
potent.....and my P66 gets pretty tied up by ICR2 with maximum scenery,
loads of cars etc during a race start!

It's horses for courses - GP2 is smooth but syrupy when the going gets
tough, ICR2 flickers and jerks instead. Is either "better"? No.....but
some are more used to, or prefer, one or the other.

Cheers!
