It's a great improvement :-))

I had it running on an older branch based on stable/2009.
I had to add the following workaround to get it running:

diff --git a/lib/bb/utils.py b/lib/bb/utils.py
index 19ca45d..11f9a01 100644
--- a/lib/bb/utils.py
+++ b/lib/bb/utils.py
@@ -93,6 +93,10 @@ def vercmp(ta, tb):
     (ea, va, ra) = ta
     (eb, vb, rb) = tb

+    if ea == '':
+        ea = '0'
+    if eb == '':
+        eb = '0'
     r = int(ea)-int(eb)
     if (r == 0):
         r = vercmp_part(va, vb)


With that fix it worked fine at all.

Now my CoreI7 makes fun ;-)

thx,
