Thanks for your interest and for the test program!

My results are:

Elapsed microseconds: 15000606
Elapsed seconds     : 15.000607
rc                  : 1

This is for both my standard and tweaked physical machines mentioned
earlier [0], as well as a newly setup virtual box. Note that all my
systems are 32-bit.

A virtual box (32-bit) to reproduce the behavior can be setup quickly:

* Download "Windows XP Mode" [1]
* The downloaded file is an SFX archive containing a VHD
* Start the OS from the VHD with any virtualization tool

I'm (still) aware that this is not an important problem, but I find it
interesting. I have some old development tools only available on my XP
machines (older versions of Visual Studio still providing Resource
Editors, to name it). Given the portability of Fossil, I was happy it
worked on Windows XP, but waiting 15 seconds for `fossil ui' cools
down my joy a little bit ;-)
