[b]DBT test : NOT!!! [edited][/b] No, this has got nothing to do with cables. came across this interesting article in slashdot.org about a DBT test for the different compression softwares available. It's a public test, and you can DL the test to your PC, run it and email the results to the compiler. check it out on this link.
