I did a compile of FahBench with new released OpenMM 6.1
Currently OpenMM 5.1 is part of FahCore17.
But i wanted to test if there would be a performance improvement in just using OpenMM 6.1

Tested AMD 14.9 driver with FAHbench on my HD 7950 @ 900Mhz (equals AMD R9 280)

OpenMM 5.1 (FahCore17)
Explicit 35
Implicit 122

OpenMM 6.1 (FahCore ???)
Explicit 35
Implicit 150

So this is an improvement in Implicit by 23% :-)

I also tested with a real work unit as scratch data and it also showed a 20% speedup.
