Hopefully we will be able to explore differences in the distributions with BBS v2 in a cleaner manner in short order. Note also: I found a disturbing performance delta using BBS between 2.2.8 and 2.2.9 on the Opteron I am trying to track down and understand. BTW: I had been resisting defining "standard" tests... is there real interest in this? Sean Eddy had suggested a much better HMMer test than the one I had been using, and I plan to incorporate his suggestion in the base test distribution of v2.
