In Reply to: Concern about .DLLs posted by clifff on August 22, 2006 at 13:06:15:
I've seen only one post that actually made this claim (and a number that have repeated it). I noticed that the original person did a number of other things at the same time they removed the unnecessary .dll files, so the claim has no merit, in my opinion.I believe it is just a simple misunderstanding by someone (and now a group of people) that doesn't understand what a .dll file is and how it is used. There are many such claims floating around, none of which have really been substantiated.
Until some of these claims are proven by a basic A/B comparison (preferably blind) in which no other parameters changed, they are about as useful as the claim I will make now:
My system has a lot less jitter when there is a full moon!!!
