For good measure, here's another `time cat /etc/sendmail.cf':
== 2.0 == 0.72 real         0.01 user         0.31 sys       
== 1.x == 0.17 real         0.01 user         0.10 sys    

Here's `time cat /usr/share/calendar/*':
== 2.0 == 2.44 real         0.00 user         0.92 sys
== 1.x == 2.06 real         0.00 user         0.24 sys

Here's `time cat web2'. (`web2' being 1.x's /usr/share/dict/web2.)
My desktop is a Linux box running XFree 2.0 or 2.1. I have 5 windows
on my desktop now. This one was done "hands off", only the particular 
telnet window doing the `cat' had any activity.
== 2.0 == 150.19 real         0.00 user        46.45 sys      
== 1.x == 0.0u 11.2s 2:26.40 7.6% 36+148k 297+0io 0pf+0w

Here's `time cat /etc/sendmail.cf > /dev/null':
== 2.0 == 0.09 real         0.00 user         0.06 sys
== 1.x == 0.03 real         0.00 user         0.03 sys 

Here's `time cat /usr/share/calendar/* > /dev/null':
== 2.0 == 0.12 real         0.01 user         0.12 sys   
== 1.x == 0.05 real         0.01 user         0.03 sys    

Here's `time cat web2 > /dev/null':
== 2.0 == 3.63 real         0.00 user         0.67 sys       
== 1.x == 0.0u 0.3s 0:00.31 106.4% 44+163k 0+1io 0pf+0w 

Just for kicks, I did some of the above on the consoles.
As noted by J"org, 1.x runs pccons, 2.0 syscons.

Here's `time cat /etc/sendmail.cf':
== 2.0 == 2.41 real         0.00 user         2.40 sys
== 1.x == 2.01 real         0.00 user         1.92 sys

Here's `time cat /etc/sendmail.cf > /dev/null':
== 2.0 == 0.08 real         0.00 user         0.10 sys
== 1.x == 0.03 real         0.00 user         0.03 sys

Here's `time cat web2':
== 2.0 == 751.63 real         0.00 user         739.80 sys
== 1.x == 650.10 real         0.00 user         649.73 sys

Here's `time cat web2 > /dev/null':
== 2.0 == 3.66 real         0.00 user         0.73 sys
== 1.x == 0.34 real         0.00 user         0.33 sys

I hope these figures tell somebody something. If anyone can suggest
anything to try next, I'll be glad to do it.

Cheers.
