No that was not what I meant. I meant what change does the knuth.tex text
makes to the number of hyphenation that you get? do you get more
hyphenetaion with knuth.tex than using Lorem Impsum. By Lorem Ipsum, I did
not mean that there is a tex file but only meant the text itself as in
http://lipsum.com/

I was only curious about the difference.
