Are you sure thats not a 486 DX2 66 in disguise? A dual 300 MHz PII
should do a make world (even with no filesystem optimization options
enabled) in under 2 hours EASILY (unless your /usr/obj is a magneto-
optical drive). 6 hours is about the par for a 486, from what I
remember of the good old days of my doing test builds of pre-2.0 on
thud.cdrom.com :)
Gary ( who is more than slightly glad that we now have computers more powerful
than thud to play with :-) )
