:Maybe the P60 is memory starved. Thrashing would cause this huge
:factor of speed difference...

No, I tested it on my 1G box - there was a very noticeable delay running
'file' on a simple text file. Something in the file program or in the
data description is causing the file program to eat cpu but I'm not really
interested in spending hours tracking it down.
If someone wants to work on the problem, I recommend editing the magic
file to home in on the cause. I did a quick 'cut magic file in half'
test and the time went from 0.09 seconds to 0.01 seconds, so I believe
there is something in there that is causing the problem.
