Interesting stuff from the Puget Sound Rope people.
I had no problem with the ultimate strength of the spectra/dyneema line.  It 
was more than adequately strong and I still have the line.  I just can't 
find a use for it.  It's too big for sheets and too inelastic for mooring 
lines.
I do, however, stand by my comments re: creep.  It was persistant, constant, 
and the switch to vectran of the same diameter cured the problem.
