I move my home computer to 6.0 when I get back a connexion at home. My office computer used to seem far faster than my home one (quite normal for a 3.2 GHz PIV against an Athlon 1800+, with twice memory) but after some weeks of 6.0 on my Athlon and _many_ ports building (mostly because of the damned f*** last OCaml release) the relative difference seems far less impressive. This also quite subjective, but my feeling is that speed impressions is as important as real speed improvements, at least for workstation. Just note that my actual usage is only LaTeX (PhD writing =2E.. ) and ports building. This was my 2 cents. --=20 Marwan Burelle, http://www.lri.fr/~burelle ( burelle@lri.fr | Marwan.Burelle@ens.fr ) http://www.cduce.org --tThc/1wpZn/ma/RB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFDozPlI+2UvUKfgvgRApnoAKCZ28X9kFNQoFbEWB3+a7F58gp1IwCgk705 elxH+rvHBUOvbBYtOFFDrM4= =fTla -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --tThc/1wpZn/ma/RB--
