And they also have other optimizations (partial dumps, dumps to RAM)
which make dumping fast.  BTW, dumping to RAM is so God Damned
cool.. we should do it too -- what platforms have memory which is
persistant across reboots besides alpha?

Between partial dumps, dumping to RAM, and compression, my XP1000 at
work will dump in about 5 seconds for a 512 MB machine.   I almost
don't mind crashing it because its so cool to watch it dump in a few
seconds ;)
