I get about 2:05 - 2:10 on a K6/233, 64 MB SDRAM and Fujitsu Ultra (3.2 Gb)
drive. Perhaps your kernel is considerably larger than ours, or you've
updated your installation since 2.0 days and now have a seriously
fragmented /usr volume? This machine had 2.2.6 freshly installed when
it was new, about 4 months ago.
This is getting kind of off-topic, should we move and/or re-Subj it?
