three times faster .. not three times as many (Score 1)

The article states " Costello also claims that Cuil's Web crawler is three times faster than Google's" and not "three times as many". Google may be crawling as many as 1 trillion pages http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/we-knew-web-was-big.html while the cuil front page says something more like 121 billion.

The speed claim may or may not be true but crawling a trillion times three isn't as plausible unless you get a crawler that likes to crawl a lot of junk. :)
