I can't help it :-))  It takes only between 1:26 and 2:36 to do make world
here.  On a P6-200 UP.

Lately it has been taking only 7-28 minutes.  But this is another story :-)

This type of work IS useful.  We can expect make world to go to sub-hour
soon.  I still remember make world being mesured in days, on smaller O/Ss.
