Re: slow woes

one other consideration to add would be do you have any other screen savers on
competing for processor time. if you have a screen saver on of if the computer
goes to sleep as al mentioned that will definitely add to the times.
I was averaging around 12 hours with a 700 mhz Celeron with 256 MB ram running
Win ME, nearly the same as win 98. The PII is more efficient per clock cycle so
i would expect times under 20 hours...
