Seriously??

1.0.9 is *very* old, and even no longer really supported.

Upgrade. Really. It isn't that hard. There is zero reason to stay on an 
unsupported version.

Don't waste your time testing such an old and unsupported version, I'm 
sure Timo has no interest in any such numbers - *unless* you are 
planning on doing said tests on *both* the 1.0.9 version *and* the 
latest 2.0.x or 2.1 build and provide a *comparison* - *that* may be 
interesting...
