Sounds like it.  My 1:22 time was on 2 fujitsui 1606SAU-512 drives,
using a 2940, no ultra, no wide, and simply put /, /usr on 1 disk,
and /usr/obj on the other.  Oh, lets other details, 64MB memory, 256K
cache KB80521EX200 SY032 CPU chip.

Your number is actually a little better than my number as you did all
the man page compressing that I left out, the time came out the same
probably due to your faster disk subsystem.
