The main reason it's taking so long is that it's a background task for everyone working on it. (Basically, me and one guy at NEC. ;-) We've gotten sidetracked with lab setup issues (signing a lease for office space, processing paperwork for board donations, etc. etc.) But I can run some tests now on a few different platforms just on my desk.
I had hoped to have at least some preliminary results by the end of November, with a bigger call for help inside the forum to finish up something big and professional-looking in April. However, maybe I can cobble together some things, and let people (both in and out of the forum) look at the preliminary results sooner.
I'll see what I can do by the end of November.
Thanks for the encouragement. -- Tim
