I think we've done this, previously (or something similar), and if
I remember rightly, those times for Arachne improve greatly if we
run Arachne from a RAMDisk.  Maybe I am in error.

Perhaps, when Michael gets the Arachne setup for GPL, with CVS, etc,
we can fork the development to run two lines...one 16-bit and the 
other 32-bit....as far as I know...the LINUX Arachne is already
compiled in 32-bit..
