[3]  = A bit better, but still easy to stop
[3a] = Good (for 8086), difficult to hang but easy to stop
[4]  = Good (because of 80386 mode), but corrupting CR0/selfmodif. kills it
[4a] = Good, kicks CR0 but a very bad written entrypoint-search engine
[5]  = Ultra, laughs at CR0/DR7 corruption/selfmodif. but uses a bad     
       entrypoint-search engine. Can be detected via 32B debug regs.
[5a] = Ultra, can only be detected via CR0/FS

Files that have been protected with TRAP 1.13 ShareWare run much faster
than ALL protectors I know (about 50) !! This is not because it isn't secure.
No! That's because I did only took the fastest and best Anti-Trace routines
and not those useless ones the (most) others took. The registered version
uses a better encryption and even more traps! So it is a bit slower but
if you compare the time with the others...
CS 1.0b is a very slow one. CS 1.01 is much faster AND uses poly. encryption.
JauMing's JMCE is 'bout as fast as TRAP but CUP386 3.4 is able to remove it.
PCrypt is THE securest one I know, but it is very slow and the fuckin' 
screen flickers during every execution - what a dumb kind of Anti-Trace code!
CSCrypt is a good protector but it requires a 386, but the execution time
is ok. XPack, Protect and PKLite do not use Anti-TraCe code against 
80386 Tracers/Debuggers because they are in first direction packers wich make
your files tight not secure (ok, a bit.. =8).
NoClip is just a better joke! I can't imagine that anybody uses this ultra
slow crap. Over 1 sec is MUCH to slow!!

The tests were made with Borland's Turbo Profiler by myself.
