[phenixbb] Third issue (...) - P.S.

Thanks for the elaboration.  All I meant was that figure 2 did not show 
improvements (points pretty much on the y=x line), while figure 1 showed 
huge improvements (points below the y=x line).  I should have added that 
in the past I've had puzzled questions around here about phenix results 
at lower resolutions, and I always wondered whether weight optimization 
may be an issue.

So maybe what I was looking for was a figure like figure 2, but of the 
old optimization.

Cheers
Frank
