Just to get the credits right: That detailed analysis was done by
Don Scurlock, not myself.
I'm thinking about it. It wouldn't have many bells and whistles,
maybe just a nightly run to update the percentage rankings.
I need a name for it though: "Weenies Cup"? ;-)
Bye for now,

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

But gaining 10% on your best time at the ring requires 10 times as much
effort. Improving Watkins by 10% requires concentration for just over
a minute involving just 7 turns. Doing the same at the Ring requires 9
minutes or less (probably <g>) and 176 turns. A whole lot more
concentration which is reflected in the improvement timewise.
By the way, although my GPLrank is pretty good, I can see that there are
those ahead of me just because they have done excellent Ring times. It
is up to me to do the same if I want to overhaul them. If they can do
it, then so can I. :)

Measure whatever you like, using whatever standards of measure you like. The
measuring has no effect on quantity being measured. Measuring the length of
a man's pants leg gives you a only fair idea of his height (and says nothing
at all about his stature). I mean only to say that any measurement system is
flawed if it doesn't directly measure the quantity you wish to know more
about. Small men, as a rule, generally dislike being measured publicly. (Or
is that pubicly?)

Ah, right. We just call it "inside leg" in the UK.
