Odd, I suspect you were doing more than just building a kernel, which only takes a few minutes to build completely (even on a quota-enabled machine ;) > I will test this and see if it fixes the problem and confirm if this > is the culprit (or not). > > I am surprised to hear this is all a function of the Quota problem > you mention.

In the grand scheme of things quotas are relatively infrequently used, so it was a higher priority for the developers to work on other things first. As I mentioned, fixing this performance problem with quotas has now been completed in 7.0 and it will probably make it back into 6.x before 6.3. Kris
