[REBOL] Re: How to find an Internet provider with Rebol CGI capabilities?

I'd be interested in speed comparisons between ISPs.
With some caution, and a few lines of code inserted, it is
possible to run Carl's speed test on your webserver:
http://www.rebol.com/speed.r
CHANGES NEEDED:
* add a shebang at the very top
* Insert these lines before the /print "running"/
print "Content-type: text/html^/"
print "<html><head></head><body><pre>"
* replace the /halt/ with these lines:
print </pre>
print </body>
print <html>
quit
CAUTION NEEDED:
If you are running on a shared server, then one test may hit a
busy patch and give you unrepresentatively slow values. Probably
need to run once an hour or so for a few hours and evaluate the
range of responses you are seeing.
I can tell you that the last time I tried it for REBOL.org we got
disk speed values suggesting the drive runs on rusty clockwork.
