That's interesting. The task optimizer -- which worked marvelously well for me in about July of 2011 -- was busted as of late Summer 2011 and I d/l'ed whatever release was current late Summer 2012 (i.e. a year later) just to see if that had been fixed... and found it hadn't. In my case, I always had to enter silly high Mc settings to get reasonable expected XC speeds. I got blown off on that... I guess it wasn't judged to be "serious" :-). The suggestion to add a dirt simple manual override for projected XC speed was likewise rejected.

I agree that figuring out a way to minimize the poking and prodding is a good thing. I liked the visual presentation of the Streak.
