Gary:

It IS efficiency, as pointed out quite eloquently by Brent Regan on 1/08. Subsequently, I posted an explanation of why it is perfectly valid to refer to it as a percentage instead of a decimal fraction, but Eric, being wound up with "hard physics", can't seem to grasp the 5th grade concept of percentage expressions. He must be bored; that's the only reason I can figure for the continued drivel.
