Also what OS are they using 10.2 or 10.3?
The machines are currently running stock Mac OS X 10.2.7. An audience member asked if they use Software Update. Varadarajan said no but that there are plans to Pantherize the system in the next few weeks. This will require an install and a recompile of some of the code.

Panther is waaaaay too buggy for them to upgrade. Probably Apple told them so, lol

I take it that none of this matters for the Top 500 list? The earlier/slowest numbers were already submitted for that?
Real-world rank is more important anyway, but I wondered about the list. Some people talk as though the latest results will affect that list, even though I thought the deadline for submissions was long past.
