All tests were run on a Dell Dimension 66V (66-MHz 486DX2) with a 6
4-bit Number Nine VL-Bus graphics accelerator. The Dell's double-speed Matsushita CD-ROM drive served as a basis for comparison. The CDStone tests measure access times (full stroke, one-third stroke, and random access) and data read rates (long block and short block), as well as CPU use. The CDStone index uses a typical single-speed drive as its baseline.

My approach to software engineering is far more pragmatic than it
is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
