First thing I did after installing man pages was to create the `cat' dirs. ;) I've just tried `man ruptime', where /usr/share/man/cat1/ruptime.1.gz exists on both machines: -rw-rw-r-- 1 man bin 604 Jan 10 18:43 /usr/share/man/cat1/ruptime.1.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 man 614 Jan 10 13:07 /usr/share/man/cat1/ruptime.1.gz (Hmmm, time zone is screwed.) == 2.0 == 2.17 real 0.56 user 0.64 sys == 1.x == 1.07 real 0.13 user 0.20 sys For `time zcat /usr/share/man/cat1/ruptime.1.gz': == 2.0 == 0.16 real 0.05 user 0.13 sys == 1.x == 0.05 real 0.01 user 0.03 sys What about `time cat /etc/sendmail.cf', with identical files? == 2.0 == 0.71 real 0.02 user 0.36 sys == 1.x == 0.17 real 0.00 user 0.10 sys Can someone running 1.x and 2.0 on almost similar h/w take a moment and try these, please?
