Were those 32 or 64 bit? With Fedora 11 and AMD Athlon 2 Ghz, I get user system elapsed 1.395 0.294 1.885 with Mepis 7 on a Celeron 1.6 Ghz, user system elapsed 3.890 5.896 9.845 Both of those are 32 bit. Maybe 64 bit does things very differently. -- ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. ___ Patrick Connolly {~._.~} Great minds discuss ideas _( Y )_ Average minds discuss events (:_~*~_:) Small minds discuss people (_)-(_) .....
