Well, the system compiles the kernel *much* faster on my system. Generally it is faster. It is possible perhaps that there is something different about your hardware that we haven't considered. I don't have an answer -- more information. Obviously you are seeing a difference. How much memory do you have? What type of disk drives do you have?? Ohhhh.... I'll bet I know... First, vi does start more slowly -- it is a new version and it has some strange timing characteristics... Secondly, the new system uses gcc2 (much, much slower) (Could that partially be the problem?????) John dyson@implode.root.com
