Half the derail-posts on page 1 are yours, so I figure it is your own fault for messing up the thread.

Posting links with no text at all is not how you "start a discussion." It seems not much thought went into this thread, even the title is stupid and tells nothing about the subject.

Neither did you.
But a thread about books nobody has read (including OP) seems doomed anway.

Fair enough, I should have bothered to post more about what I wanted to discuss, I figured lots of guys here read books so maybe some may have some reading lined up.

I don't have access to my personal computer when I am posting in the morning at work. Since I have not ordered the book yet I don't have it in my amazon history and I am not spending time digging on amazon for a link when at work.

But since its just a standard, and the performance is dependant on the driver's implementation, at least a ball park figure would be nice.
(like how much does a sin(x) cost, a texture lookup cost, etc.)

Anywy no post in this thread seems of value, closing it so we can start fresh.
Feel free to open a new one, maybe with a bit more content so that there is actually something to discuss instead of flaming.
